What is the ring on the side of this fireplace for?
The fireplace in the apartment I am hoping to move to has a ring embedded in the side, inside the firebox. What is that ring for? It appears to be QUITE strong.
It’s not a knob, and it’s certainly not a shut off. It’s IN the fireplace, on the side of the place where the burning wood goes.
How much does it cost to Build a woodburning fireplace?
We found the perfect home in Buford, GA -but it does not have the wood-burning fireplace that I’ve always wanted. Gas, electric will not do. We figured we knock a hole in it and install a wood-burner. Feasible? If so, how much should I budget for it? Who should I get to do the work for me, what kind of professional?
Heat is flowing out of our fireplace front and up the roomside wall of the chimney. Normal or a problem?
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.

What color should I paint my family room? Brick fireplace, hardwood floor, one north facing window?
Not much natural light comes into the room so I want to brighten it up a bit. What color would do that and match the fireplace and hardwood floor? The only color I can think of is white but I would like to be a bit more adventurous than that!
Thanks!
