had free estimate done for work to repair chimney + fire place [Robert's Chimney Service]

                           ↓

supposedly, the lack of a damper in the fireplace is allowing large amounts of heat loss from the cabin → so repairing the chimney + installing a damper should yield heat savings in 2 ways:

1. Less heat loss
2. Use of firewood instead of propane to generate heat.

however, it will cost $870.00!! Will SNRE be willing to pay? Stay tuned for further developments.
