Hello, My Wife and I are trying to figureout the best approach on remodeling the existing wood burning fireplace. Can i remove and go over the top and bottom vents with the concrete backerboard? We are going to stone out the entire wall and i wanted to bring the stone in so there is less black metal, and get rid of the vents... is that possible?
I really need some help as i want to be safe on this project of course.
It is gas hook up as pictured and we are going to put in a gas log setup, although fake look.
