Closing off a fireplace

Aug 01, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



I want to install a wood stove where my fireplace is. I don't like the look of putting a stove in front of the fireplace opening.



Is it possible to close off the fireplace with brick, and drywall over top? Then cut a hole thru so the stove pipe can connect to the chimney liner?



Thanks, Jeff
