Hi, I am a noobie to this site. I live in a 1 1/2 story full masonry home with a "dummy" fireplace that has "no vent" gas logs in it. I have always wanted to have a wood fireplace, but this dummy has no chimney. The only chimney I have is a masonry chimney for the gas furnace flu. My question is: Is it even feasbale to consider installing a wood burning fireplace/stove in a differnt location in the home? The location of the exisitng "dummy" fireplace is against the garage wall so I have no room to build out from that. What are my alternatives? The main floor is about 1000 square foot and the 2nd floor *has 2 bedrooms, and a "entertainment room" is about 400 square foot. I have a full "unfinished" basment. The roof pitch on the house is about 8/12 (fairly steep) There is crawl space on the second floor behind the rooms going the length of the "shotgun" style house. Any chance on installing a wood stove/fireplace or should I stick to my outdoor chimenea for my wood fires? Any thoughts?
