Can anyone tell me what's the best wood burning fireplace on the market. We want to build a fireplace using a zero clearance wood burning fireplace and then use stone over the chase inside and out.
Buck: Check out Acucraft Z-Max (http://www.acucraft.com/products/woodburning/moreinfo/index.asp?rc=...) zero clearance wood burning fireplace. We put one in a spec home in 2000 and the people just love it. It uses OUTSIDE air to fuel the fire so the efficiency is fantastic. Would suggest getting the blowers with it as it will force the air in to the room at a better rate. We used the stone both inside and out like you are. It looks GREAT. Cheers - Donald
