Hey Guys,
Wife and I have decided we want to put a fireplace in our den. We have an exterior wall that has about 16' between the windows, And this is where she wants it.
Floor system is 2x12 Silent I-Beam with 2- 5/8" tounge and grove plywood that we screwed and glued. Ext. wall is 2x4 1/2" OSB wrapped in tyvek with vinyl siding.
We want to build a stacked stone fire place (Int and Ext.)that is 10'-12' wide with an opening of 4'to 5' in width. I want to be able to burn long pieces of wood.
Would also like to have Natural gas plumbed in for a back up.
We have never had a fireplace in any of our homes, so this is a first and what to cover all basis. Pros/Cons. Do's and dont's If I had to do it again I would??? Ways/tricks/tips to make wood burn longger. Drafting. What have your experiances been?? Any help, As always is greatful.
Thanks, Chuck
