We're planning a move from south fla to north fla next yr and will prob buy a mobile home. My wife wants a wood burning fireplace because weve got quite a few pines on our property and she is quite energy conscience, Im leaning towards gas (propane) cause as much as I like any excuse to buy more tools I dont think new chainsaw and log splitter would be all that much fun... My real questions are, how much more trouble would a wood burner be as opposed to gas? and also is it possible to heat a 32x80 home with a fireplace if the air conditioner return is located fairly close to the fireplace and the a/c run on "fan only" , keeping in mind this isnt nebraska or iowa and winter temps prob seldom get to freezing and the newer mobile homes are pretty well insulated...Also Im curious if anyone makes a fireplace that can use both? my wife seems to thinks they do but Ive never heard of such a critter....hate to sound like a dummy but dead of winter here (both weeks) seldom get below high 50's and I just havent had a reason to learn much about fireplaces.....thanks Don
