gas logs

I am looking to install a coronado stone fireplace. If I use direct vent gas logs does it have to be firebrick lined or can I use the triple wall pipe?

Thanks,

Fireplace Size and Height for good draw

J

JPG on Mar 24, 2002

We recently had a freestanding brick fireplace built in our backyard away from the house and on a large patio. We designed the fireplace froma picture in a fireplace book with what seemed traditional proportions by a local brick mason. The problem is that it does not draw. After much investigation, we determined that our construction was not done in accordance with the therrmodynamics rules of chimney building. I assume that teh firebox area in relation to the size and teh height of the flue are wrong but have not been able to find information as to the proper proportions. Does anyone have this information? Is the interior of the flue supopsed to have unidirectional flow wings that jut out from the sides to prevent downdraft? What is the minumum height required for a large firebox in order to draw properly? Can I neck it down somehow to change the flue size? Help!!! We have a beuatiful fireplace that was expensive to put in which we can't use. If anyone knows where I can get informaiton on these construction parameters, let me know.Read More
