We live in coastal NH and renovated out house a couple of years ago. The one thing we miss from our old house is the fireplace and wood stove. Without going into the difficulties of putting in a real fireplace/chiminey in this house I have come to the conclusion that a nice solution might be a gas fireplace.
My undertanding is that these are, or can be, ventless so I would not have to worry about an external chimney. My fantasy would be to build a stone wall in the middle of the wall with the fireplace in it and hang the LCD screen above the mantle. The house was originally a
1920's bungalow and this is the original part of it, thus it has only 2x4 walls. So I don't know if weight would be a factor. I think I could get this done for less then 5k.Any advice on this idea? Things I might run into as roadblocks? What should I look for when looking at gas fireplaces?
Thanks, Jim
