I have an original real fireplace in my home, however and recently there were some extreme problems with the fireplace, but i will not get into the particulars or I will be here all afternoon writing a mini novel trying to explain it all, however what I will say is that I called some fireplace professional in my local part plus was able to get all fixed plus refurbished.
So more or less, my seasoned fireplace is brand new again! It is literally like I just bought this seasoned fireplace all over again.
It works just the same as it did when I bought this house almost 40 years ago plus the fireplace is going strong as ever! I was particularly pretty upset that the fireplace was going to be dead on me plus that I would either have to go out plus buy one of those modern plus fake electric fireplaces or gas fireplaces or possibly even have to get some form of central boiler for my home, then because I did not believe it was going to be fixable. But the fireplace professionals pleasantly surprised me with all when they were able to make the superb seasoned fireplace brand new all over again. It was a real superb thing all around. So now I can prefer my original real plus authentic fireplace like I was before. I particularly gotten so used to having a fireplace in my house all of these decades, however for it to have been broken beyond service would have just been heartsplitting to me plus I easily would not have been easily excited with an electric fireplace or gas fireplace.
