Hello
First you need to know if the gas is an add on to a "real" fire place that has a damper, flew and chimny that was build with a wood stove in mind if it was then you can burn wood if not then you can not make it into a wood burning fireplace...Good Luck

new look for fireplace

on Aug 30, 2001

I recently read a previous message about updating an ugly brick fireplace using cultured stone. It was suggested that a wire mesh be used and attached with small concrete nails. Is this all that needs to be done and can I use other kinds of tile? Does the brick need to be cleaned or prepared in any other way?

Fireplace AC Outlet

on Sep 10, 2001

My new home comes with a gas fireplace that has an AC outlet for installing a blower. My home builder did not connect this AC outlet to the electrical system. Their explanation is "they just don't wire the AC outlet". This is rediculous. It could have easily be done during the electrical wiring phase. Since the fireplace is a feature of the home design isn't it their responsibility to wire this AC outlet up? Is there a building code that states all AC outlets must be wired? Appreciate any guidance. Regards.
