Sooner than expected, I'll be moving to another house at the end of March. The house has a prefab fireplace as shown
in the photo. I had the homeowner measure the box. The firebox opening is 21" high and 15" deep. In the front, it is 28 3/4"
wide and in the back narrows to 21" wide. There's firebrick on the three sides. I love my freestanding woodstove, but I'm
trying to make a smart decision about how to heat the new house with wood. There's about 1200 square feet on the main
floor where the prefab is and another 1100 sq feet downstairs (finished walkout basement). Recommendations?
Second, from my search of this issue in the archives, it doesn't look like I can remove the firebrick to improve my
dimensions, correct?
