So I’ll be honest I haven’t venture to take this out of the box as of yet. I love the size of it and am very excited to get it mounted but the size and weight have me nervous to try. I am so excited about the ambience it will create in my living room this fall and winter so I need to make sure this is in place before the cold gets here. Although with the ability to turn on the fire without heat it may just get used heat round. Who doesn’t love sitting and watching the fire.
