replacing woodburning stove with fireplace
Hi. We have a woodburning stove sitting on a 4'x3' layered brick slab and we want to put in a gas fireplace. I am wondering if we can put the fireplace on top of this brick or if we should remove the brick and put it on a base. I would prefer to put in on the brick as it would be a lot of work to remove the brick. It is about 5 or 6 inches off the floor. Thank you for any info.

You can install a zero-clearance fireplace right on the existing brick.
These are made to be safely installed against wood framing.
Check into them (woodburning or gaslogs) at fireplace stores, Sears, etc.
Good luck!
