Chubby Jr reporting for duty...
and the Cozy Grate gets called to action, 40,000 BTU per hour ("free" fuel, burning scrap and downed trees from the neighborhood, I got to haul it and cut it for free, not too often anymore but once in a while).

I see the burning nut in the Chubby lobsterdude, but the nice looking wood fire looks to be in a fireplace?

Yep, I have a fireplace/chimney at each end of my house. The second one may host another stove next year.

How 'bout an insert? I've been wanting to see more about fireplace inserts. :)

An insert would be cool. Some time ago a scored a ton of cannel coal (look it up), a bit rare but was used by the well-to-do in fireplaces. The chunks are big, 30-40 lbs or so, burns bright yellow.
