Check fire codes before installing outdoor fireplace
Feb 04, 7011 | The barbecue is set up, lounge chairs are arranged and flowers are blooming. If you are thinking about enhancing your outdoor paradise with a fireplace, here are some tips and trends that will not only create instant ambience, but will also extend the time you can comfortably sit outside.
Before you choose the fireplace of your dreams, check into your area fire codes to find out what type of outdoor fire you are permitted to burn. Regulations differ from region to region, and are set in place for everyone's protection.
One of the fastest growing trends today is outdoor fire pits and fire bowls.
There are portable styles manufactured from copper, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, clay or ceramics. They can be set up on the ground or raised on a stone ledge, and smaller styles placed on tabletops. If you are looking for an affordable, low-maintenance outdoor fire this is a great investment.
Outdoor fire pits and fire bowls use two types of fuel, wood or gas/propane. As with indoor styles, the gas fires come with ceramic logs or lava rocks to promote a realistic view. Depending on where you live and what fuel is available, you may have the option of burning wood pellets, or corn.

Fireplace??????????
Dec 04, 2007 by gurlndixie
My house has a fireplace which is approximately 13 years old. (the house is 13 years old). Anyway, when I build a fire in the fireplace there is smoke in the house. What could be wrong with it? Could it be clogged up or something. It is a Marco Fireplace. Thanks
How do I know if my chimney is clogged? And what do I do about it if it is? thanks
Are you positive the flue is completely open? Get a flashlight and look up the chimney. There is a gate called a flue that can be closed when not using the fireplace. Other than that, it could be carbon or soot deposit slowing the flow, or even nests or dead animals clogging it up higher.
How to install a glass fireplace door?
Feb 01, 2008 by clearview
Currently we have a manufacture fireplace. On the front of the fireplace it has a metal net screen that you pull from both sides to close it. This screen is attached by little round links to a metal bar that runs across the top outside opening of the fireplace. We want to install a glass fireplace door - 1st - how does one remove that bar? 2nd - how do you get the correct measurements for the new glass fireplace door? 3rd - how do you install the fireplace door? Your help is much appreciated.
I had a similar set up but instead of a door, there was a solid piece of glass between the screen (as youd described) and the glass. Ours was a Heatilator and on their units, you could read the model number behind the access panel on the bottom of the unit. Based on that model number, they had a
2 panel door that I ordered. It came with detailed instructions on installing it.
Depending on your unit, you might have the same vendor, if not maybe you can get the model number and then search for the door.
