I bought a propane fireplace a few years ago, plus I entirely easily appreciated using it.
It is not that chilly here where I live even during the winter months, so I hated turning my furnace on because it cost quite a bit of money in electricity to run it.
I did use my furnace for a few winters, however then, I stopped using it because I got sick of the high electric bill. It would be hot some days plus chilly other days, so I had to turn my furnace on plus off all of the time anyways. It was just a pain. I ended up going a couple of months one winter without using any type of heater, plus that was cheaper, however I got quite chilly at times. My neighbor recommended that I get a propane fireplace since propane is cheaper than electricity. I took his advice, plus I bought a propane fireplace. I used that propane fireplace for about three years. It worked great! It had a little bit of a propane smell which I did not particularly care for, however it was not too bad. I got used to it after a little while, plus I usually could not smell it at all, however just a few weeks ago, I noticed that my fireplace was having trouble with igniting… After a few days of struggling to light it, it finally stopped lighting altogether. I had a neighbor come over plus check it out, plus he said that it needed a current thermocouple. I bought one, plus he will be installing it next week, plus I actually can’t wait to have a laboring fireplace once again.
