Gas fireplaces

Fireplace manufacturers recommend that gas fireplaces have annual maintenance and inspections by an authorized service dealer.

NEED HELP!!! Completing a Fireplace

J

jatra on Nov 05, 2002

I need some guidance on how to finish off a fireplace that was apparently contructed for an insert instead of for burning wood. Here's the situation: It's a typical brick fireplace against the wall in the family room that contains an insert for burning wood pellets. The insert is operated by an electrical blower and damper adjuster to regulate the size of the fire and the amount of heat to be circulated. When I looked behind the insert, I noticed that there was no brick or concrete to support the burning of wood. My plan is to remove the insert and build up the inside of the fireplace so that I can burn wood. I need some advice on the easiest way to accomplish this. Should I use brick or concrete? What preparation needs to be done prior to laying the brick or concrete? I'm a novice at this and need all the help I can get. THANKS.Read More

removing fireplace insert

The fireplace in my dining room has an insert that is ugly loud and ugly. Glass doors are never ever clean, can't see the fire, and it gets too hot in the room. I would like to remove it, but when I asked the chimney guy about it he rolled his eyes and said it would be expensive. I think he just didn't want to mess with it, he never wants to clean it either. So how hard could it be to remove the thing? If there isn't a damper can one be installed or would glass doors be ok? The chimney is old but in good shape. Thanks, GloriaRead More
