Q: How big should a fire pit be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace hearth necessary?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you&rsquo;re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That&rsquo;s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.</p></div>

Q: Do you need electricity for a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it&rsquo;s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.</p></div>

Q: Do I also need a cricket for my chimney?

• <div><p>In addition to flashing, a roof cricket can help divert water around your chimney so that it drains properly off your roof. It&rsquo;s shaped like a double triangle and is installed behind the chimney so that falling water spills evenly down each side. This helps prevent water from accumulating behind your chimney, which can increase water damage and the risk of leaks. </p><p><a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2021P1">The International Building Code</a> (IBC) requires cricket installation if a chimney built after 2012 measures over 30 inches in width. Chimneys constructed before that date are typically grandfathered in and aren&rsquo;t required to have crickets installed.</p></div>

Q: Does a gas fireplace need a chimney?

• <div><p>Not all gas fireplaces need a chimney. If you install a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-ventless-gas-fireplaces.htm">ventless gas fireplace</a>, it will release low levels of combustion byproducts back into your living space (instead of pushing them outside through a chimney or vent). Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal&mdash;but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.</p></div>
