Fireplaces, Stone Patios, Grill Islands — New Waukee Store Offers it All
May 19, 2012 | Jason Cox, branch manager of the
Fireplace & Stone Center, said the move has given the retailer more space to display products and will undoubtedly give shoppers a better idea of how a product will look in their own home. It was 4,500 square feet and this is 6,500 square feet. If any of these scenarios fit the bill, then you're going to want to check out the new
Fireplace & Stone Center at 850 S. E. Alice's Road in Waukee. How about a cozy fireplace to warm up in front of during the winter months. The retailer recently moved from its previous location on 121st Street in Urbandale to the new location in Waukee. The store carries a little bit of everything from fireplaces and grills to outdoor pavers, pergolas and even fire pits. Looking to install a stone patio out back or maybe a large grill island just off the house. "The additional space is awesome," said Cox. We have 40 displays so you can actually see things working.

Heat is flowing out of our fireplace front and up the roomside wall of the chimney. Normal or a problem?
Mar 07, 2008 by oohhbother
Our woodburning fireplace has no doors or mantle. This year, the front of the chimney above the firebox becomes very hot. The heat ends at the picture hanging 3 feet above, and the bricks behind that picture are cool. The heat stops at that line. The co2 alarm, which is in the hallway and not near the fireplace, does not register anything. No smoke is getting in the room.
I don't remember this happening in past years.
Is it possible you just never noticed it before? It is VERY normal for the face of the fireplace to get hot. Even almost too hot to touch. Though it is a good idea to have a damper and/or a set of doors that's probably not what is causing the heat.
As long as the fireplace is not smoking up the house you must be getting a good draft which means it's probably not blocked like some previous people have suggested.
Regardless it's hard for anyone here to tell if it's "normal" without being there in person. Call a certified chimney sweep just to check things out and set your mind at ease. This will cost somewhere between $65-$200.
Better safe than sorry!
Did I permanently destroy the slate in front of my fireplace?
Nov 26, 2008 by Katt
I had ash all over the slate in front of my fireplace, so I sprayed some cleanser on it, then wiped the area with paper towels. After it all dried, I could see dull splotches where the spray/foam cleanser landed on the slate. Have I bleached it out? Is there anything I can try to fix it?
I agree with Tzimi, buy the right cleaner made especially for slate, and follow up with polish. The colour is in the slate itself, you shouldn't be able to "bleach it out"
