[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 62223, member: 429"] I have a 2 story great room with a gas fireplace, a ceiling fan to circulate the air and a shoulder mount 3.5' above the gas fireplace. There is no mantle between fireplace and mount. My wife has been running the fireplace consistently because.....surprise surprise, she is always cold. One day, I felt the stone between the mount and fireplace and it was fairly warm along with the bottom chest area of the cape of the mount. I started reading on this and more and more people say it's a bad idea to have a mount above a fireplace. I told the wife she needs to bundle up, adjust the thermostat on the furnace or a combination of both and only run the fireplace only when absolutely necessary. What are your experiences with mounts over a gas fireplace? I have had this for 2 years now and don't want my mount ruined in short time but I don't want to take the mount down either because it "makes the room." [/QUOTE]
