I am wonderingif my second story can holda new fireplace. I have 2x10 floors 16 in. on centerwith a 13ft. span. the fireplaceweighs 590lbs. I was placing the unit parallel to floor joist on exterior wall (only choice). I wasgoingto put the unit on a platform that isabout 44 in. deep to accomidate hearth. I wasgoing to finish with fake rock front. I need to build a chase that is 26 in. deep and abou 67 in wide that will extent up to ceiling 12 ft. high. I wasgoig to put blue stone on hearth. I am concerned about the weight what do you think?
