"Contacted "All Day Chimney" service and scheduled a cleaning and inspection for the following week. We were quoted $125 for the service. They arrived near the appointment time and began work. Very good job of protecting house from ash. About 1 hour into the service, the technician "hollered" through the chimney as he was on the roof and told me that this was going to cost in excess of $400 due to it being an oversized chimney and a steep roof. After some discussion, we agreed to a price of $250 and he completed the job. Everything appears to be done properly, but we won't know until next fall/winter when we begin to use our fireplace again. As for the inspection, we were never informed as to the condition, so we can only "guess that it was okay"? After the technician left, and looking from the ground, it appears that the screen on the top of the chimney appears to not have been fully attached to keep rodents and birds out. Only time will tell, once I am able to get on the roof and look for myself."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A chimney without a liner is not recommended. Chimney liners protect the surrounding structure from heat, reducing the risk of fire or structural damage. Just as important, liners prevent carbon monoxide and other toxic gases from leaking into your abode by guiding smoke and gases out more effectively. Remember, installing a liner ensures safety and extends the life of your chimney.

Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options—around $1,500—versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace.

A fireplace that doesn’t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don’t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.

Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.

Some homes with wood-burning fireplaces don't have ash pits due to design choices, construction practices, or the age of the house. Many older abodes don't have them because ash pits weren't a standard feature when they were built. Additionally, in smaller homes or homes with less frequent fireplace use, builders might have opted to forgo an ash pit to reduce costs or simplify maintenance.
