Any thoughts, pro/con, on which you would prefer to have in your home. My only requirement is it has to be wood burning, here is my (limited) knowledge on each.

Wood Burning Fireplace Insert: Puts out alot of heat, but the fan is dependent on electricity which is not a good thing post SHTF. And from what i understand it requires a full fireplace to install.

Wood Burning Stove: Puts out heat and can cook with it if needed. Does not require a fireplace to install.

Like i said, i dont have alot of knowledge on either but im in the process of reading up on each to try and figure out which we are going to install in our home next year.
