1. Selecting Fireplace Locations
This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently
opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other
locations of considerable air movement can affect the
performance.
