I haven’t had the need to use a fireplace, considering that where I live in Texas does not get that cold. I always thought of a fireplace as one of those pieces in the house that functions more as a decoration than actual practical use. I’ve been in my house for almost 6 years and have yet to turn on the fireplace…not sure how to even start the gas line!!
