We have a Jotul insert.
The thing gives out tremendous amounts of heat.
We also have a stock o' wood out in the back yard and my DH was just lumberjacking yesterday, bringing up logs that had been cut and drying in the hollow in our back yard and splitting them to add to the rack.
We do a bottom up light. DH is a believer in having a nice bed of hot coals to get things roaring.
