Unfortunately, I have a wood burning fireplace in my living room instead of a traditional fireplace. I like the look of the fireplace itself, but there is stone all on the wall behind it which limits what I can do color wise with the room. (I prefer color – not beige, which is all I can really use) There is also the stone encircling the fireplace on the floor.
Can I put some kind of drywall or plaster to cover up the stone, and still be able to use the fireplace safely? I would like a clean, solid look.

Please note: The preview here is of a lower quality resolution from the purchased video, which is geared to play just as well on your SD tv or laptop as on your iPod. This video fireplace features a full 30 minutes of a real wood fire burning a way in a typical beach house. No gas logs, no cheesy music, no annoying pans and zooms, no mantle or fireplace is visible to destroy the illusion… The fire starts as a blaze and progresses naturally to hot, glowing embers. The natural hiss and crackle of aged birch logs is the only soundtrack here. A real fire withoiut the mess. Perfect for your iPod, flat screen tv, a computer, or portable dvd player. Create a toasty atmosphere for your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years gatherings. You can purchase the DVD version of this program at www.amazon.com Volume 2 of the Cape Cod Videoscapes Series. Reviews **Highly Recommended!! Love to read by the crackling fire..Thanks! **A+ My husband really liked it **Yes, this is a real fire, not gas, just like it says on the package. The birch logs are a plus! They burn very hot to begin with but then settle down to a very hearty fire, so you get the full experience of having your own fire from first flames to warm coals. The fire really looks like it’s in my computer screen. I’d like to see a Hi-Def version offered.

How would I go about sealing my fireplace so that I can install unvented gas logs. I have a brick chimney that is a wood fireplace. The damper broke off a few years ago and it is stuck in the open position. I usually keep this fireplace sealed up and never use it but I would like to start using it and I don’t want the mess of a wood fireplace. Should I use concrete or something else?

My livingroom fireplace is on an exterior wall that faces my pool. I’ve always wanted to break an opening from the outside of the house so it can function both as and indoor and outdoor fireplace. Is my idea possible?

Hi! Just moved into my first home, and it has a fireplace. We were wondering how much heat does a fireplace actually give off in the winter and will it be enough to heat at least the surrounding room? Sorry if its a stupid question, weve never had a fireplace before though, thanks!
Nate, lol….I know it sounds like a stupid question, obviously I know it was made to put out heat and not for show, I was wondering how much heat it would put out, enough to heat the entire room and surrounding area or just immediate area
