The other day my husband lit the fireplace. Everything seemed O.K. We enjoyed it for awhile. Let it go out and then we went out. When we came back about an hour and a half later, we smelled smoke, etc. My husband went upstairs to check it out. All the insulation was smoldering and there was smoke everywhere. He got the hose and played fireman. Thank God we came back when we did. Yesterday we had the maintenance people come over and they replaced the fireplace and did all the work upstairs. I sure said a prayer after that experience. We live in a community where they do everything for us - cut the grass, etc. which is nice and we were still under warranty (1 year) for the fireplace, so we didn't have to pay anything. Thank God. It would have cost a small fortune.
