Video: What's involved with adding a masonry fireplace?

There's nothing quite like the sound and smell of a wood-burning fire. But, gas is nice, too. It's clean, quick and efficient.

So, how do you decide which to go with?

You can't beat the heat the wood-burning fireplace puts out. But, the downside is that you have to cut -- or pay someone to cut -- the firewood. And most of the heat is lost up the chimney.
