Ongoing fireplace story.
If you recall, a while back, we discovered that the metal box that created our fireplace was bad. The plan at that point (plan "B" ) was to get a gas fireplace insert. Today the mason came over and said that he could rebuild the fireplace. The mason removed the old metal box, and has started to rebuild the fireplace. This picture shows the fireplace with a view into the new kitchen. The only problem we have run into is the cold breeze that comes into the TV room from the unheated addition.

So, will it be a gas insert in a rebuilt brick fireplace? Or will you be doing a traditional fireplace?
My vote is a two-sided fireplace with a swinging cast iron hook on the kitchen side so you can cook a la Plymouth Plantation =)
I think we might go with a gas log.
The log will be cheaper than a gas insert, and more traditional. But we don't need to make a decision now, we can use the fireplace now and upgrade later.
We will have a normal stove in the kitchen.
