A wood stove insert is a specially designed firebox which can be installed into your existing fireplace. This type of firebox is sealed and provides the ability to burn wood more efficiently and preventing heat from going up the chimney. This insert is often made of steel or cast iron. Inserts are available with blowers that circulate the warm air into the room.

When deciding on different gas grill models, you need to look at the number of burners the grill contains as well the number of BTU's it generates. A higher number of burners and BTU's means that the grill will generate more heat and will be better suited when you have a large amount of food items to grill. You will also need to decide if you want a permanently installed grill or a portable one on wheels, both models are available from New Energy Distributing.
Gas grills have evolved since being first created from a basic grill design using a propane gas tank, to complete outdoor cooking stations. Modern designs can be permanently installed onto the patio or other outdoor area of the home, creating an outdoor kitchen. Even modern portable units have been updated to offer a huge grilling area, as well as separate burners for cooking other items and even warming plates and rotisserie options.

Modern gas fireplaces are often referred to as direct vent fireplaces. What is different about direct vent fireplaces and traditional gas burning units is that no chimney is required for direct vent fireplaces. Instead the fireplace is vented to the outside wall where the gas fireplace is installed and vents out combustion air and also provides the ability to draw in air from the outside as needed.
