@redenigma I would keep the rocks! Isn't there a stove in there already? 🧐
@b4cks4w no (there's a cheesy electric fake stove in there because nowhere else to put it). and it's built really badly with a right angle connection that catches fire often if you use the fireplace.
@redenigma Yikes!
Talking about that pipe and angles and draw - how far to the roof? If it's me, I'm piping all the way up so I don't need to think about chinking. Downside is the whole thing doesn't initially breathe as well as a fireplace so starting a fire needs some pre-warming of that cold air stack. I prefer that to chimney fires.
@redenigma Older house eh? That's a lot of fireplaces!
