"Excellent experience all around. The two-man crew did a fantastic job installing the new fireplace surround. They were professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. They took great care to keep everything tidy and cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. The craftsmanship on the new mantel and stone surround looks beautiful. I’m very happy with what I got for the price I paid—definitely worth every penny!"

"Needed to get my gas fireplace inspected quickly as I am selling my condo. I contacted Finest Chimney in the morning and they sent someone out right away. I was very happy that came out so quick and extremely happy with the service. The technician cleaned my gas fireplace and was able to get the fireplace started and working after not working for almost 10 years."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.

You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the EPA wood stove database. The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.
