1. Selecting Fireplace Locations

This fireplace may be used as a room divider. See Figure
2.2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement should be avoided.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets
or returns, or other locations of considerable air movement
can affect the performance.
