Dog House

 

If you are planning to add a direct vent or vent-free fireplace to an existing smaller room, you may want to consider a "dog house". Before you think you'll have to go out to your backyard to enjoy your new fireplace, let me explain what a dog house is.Usually, your fireplace will add 2 feet to your room and your hearth will add another 2 feet. You are therefore giving up 4 feet of living space. A dog house allows you to add your fireplace into your wall and build the exterior walls and roof to cover your new fireplace and allow for proper venting.
