im renting a house with a fireplace, ive used it once but had alot of smoke coming in, was the fire not hot enough to assist in the smoke rising? is some smoke coming in normal? any tips or tricks ?
oh before someone asks, yes the damper in the chimney was open when I used it.

I currently have a gas furnace in my basement and would like to supplement with a wood burning stove. What is recommended for a 2500 sq. ft. 2 story home and how to tie into my existing ductwork?

I am buying a house that doesn’t have a fireplace. In the future I would like to install one. I am currently figuring up my 5 year plan for the property and want to know about how much the addition of a wood burning masonry fireplace costs. I am aware that this is not the most efficient fireplace available, but this is what I am going to choose based strictly on my preference.

I have searched the internet and have found many articles debating different types of fireplaces, estimated resale value, etc. but nothing with a ball park dollar amount. If anybody has added a fireplace to their house or is a contractor who has worked on similar jobs, I would greatly appreciate an approximate figure.

Thanks!
Once again. I am aware that this might not be the most efficent or cost saving. The question is not what kind to build, but how much $$ am I looking at. This is what I am going to build. I just need dollar amounts.
