| Aug 18, 2014 at 18:19 | comment | added | James | Fay it is possible that there is in fact a fireplace behind the sheetrock. I lived in a house growing up that had been converted to three apartments and we merged them all back together. Not only did we find the fireplace behind sheetrock there was also set of stairs walled off in the back of the house. | |

I want to make sure I have my i's dotted and t's crossed before ripping out the drywall, in case it turns out it's not a good idea to add the stove after all... I do know, there is 2x4 vertical framing right up against the brick chimney, in one of the upstairs closets that is not completely drywalled, as well as a staircase butted up against it. That is why I was concerned about combustible materials. The chimney itself is single-layer brick. Tyler, I like the idea of a freestanding, zero-clearance fireplace - I think it would be easier on our fl | |
