We have a fireplace that we never used, so when we built on to the back of the house - we can't use it anymore. I like fireplaces, but didn't like to mess with them and really never found it cold enough. I'd have to open up the house if I started a fire. So, we just have lighted logs in there now. Nice ambiance, but no mess. We could have gas logs, but again, we just don't need the extra heat very often.
I do really like to sit in front of the fire though, just don't like to mess with it!
