Those old woodburning fireplaces we grew up with sure were pretty. They made nice flames and a good crackle, but most of the heat went up the chimney. They also used oxygen from inside the house, which wasn't really a big deal, since there were lots of places for it to seep back in. Things are different nowadays, with a tight home you don't want anything taking the oxygen from your inside air. That's why they make sealed combustion units now. I got a great one by Majestic. It really looks great with a large opening and nice logs that run on propane. It's a sealed unit too, with a coating on the glass that makes it virtually invisible. Lots of people have tried to reach right through it! The outside air intake makes for sealed combustion and nice big flames. My wife just loves it.
