Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

So generally, you can say that anyone who says something "against" heating with a fireplace here has never had one in the house/apartment.

Nope, we have one at my parents' house, my in-laws have one too. I still don't want it. I do find the warmth quite pleasant, that's not the issue. But when it comes to fine dust and so on, I don't want that for myself. Personally, I don't feel like I'm massively restricting myself because of that, but okay. I also find the idea "it always works in a pinch" quite appealing, but if we're honest, you wouldn't just use it during a power outage ;)

We have built and are currently blowing all our savings on consumption and vacation

are happy with it

When it comes to killing arguments, the topic should be closed. I could also say now "Anyone who doesn't drive a new car has never had one and doesn't know what they're missing"... But what good would that do? I recommend driving through Czech villages near Peterswald on a cold winter day. A lot of wood is burned for heating there and it smells awful. I used to be on business there often (yeah yeah, to save on tolls) and had a headache every time I arrived at the destination.

But now that's apples and oranges again. Stoves and fireplaces approved in Germany have little in common with those operated in the Czech Republic.

You know that all cars have a recirculation button? It helps with that ;)

You know that all cars have a recirculation button? It works better that way ;)

Ever driven with recirculation on for 2-3 hours? You get pretty tired quickly, very unhealthy. What comprehensive measures for flue gas cleaning are required in Germany for the living room fireplace?
