Hey Mike, I've had the fire going in my fireplace insert off and on since Nov. I wait until the temp will be consistantly below 45-50F. I'm home all the time (disabled) so it's easy for me to feed the monster. The doors seal really well choking the fire down so it's controlled. So I only have to refill it about 3 times a day - morning, afternoon and before bed. On really cold nights I'll get up at 3 or so and check it. I like the smell and seeing a curl of smoke coming out of the chimney is pleasant to see. But it *is* kinda messy - everytime I bring wood into the house I get the broom and dustpan to clean up.--- ;-) Sincerely, Larry T
