(That's true even with the new higher-velocity systems, which use a much narrower duct; it's still much larger than the pipes of a forced-hot-water system.) Also, re the propane torch, remember that combustion produces CO2 and CO; if you're going to use it more than occasionally you might need a chimney/flue. See gas fireplace docs. | |
