I know a fire place insert or wood stove are best for efficiency but I do love a natural fire place. I have been trying to get more heat out of it and bought a fireback ( cast iron plate you put in back of fireplace to help radiate more heat) and now the Grate Wall of Fire grate.
I got it today and couldn't resist trying it out and have to say it holds more wood, I have to stoke fire less, and more heat is radiated back into the room since the burning wood and coals are held up higher.
So far I really like it and will be trying it out more as time goes by.
One thing I have noticed though is if you really want heat coming out you still have leave pockets for the fire to breathe.
