Q: Can I put a pellet stove in a corner?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you&rsquo;re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don&rsquo;t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it&rsquo;s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner&rsquo;s manual for specific instructions.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace make home insurance more expensive?

• <div><p>Wood-burning fireplaces typically make homeowners insurance more expensive, simply because they increase the risk for a fire in your home. Gas and electric inserts are less likely to bring up your insurance rates, but you should always speak with your agent to understand how installing any type of fireplace will affect your premiums. </p></div>

Q: Which is better: a ventless or vented gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Both vented and ventless gas fireplaces have pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your needs and preferences. A ventless fireplace may be a good option if you do not have a chimney, but you should check local regulations as they are banned in some areas, such as California. On the other hand, if anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, a vented fireplace is a better choice for health and air quality.</p></div>

Q: Are chimneys usually load-bearing?

• <div><p>The answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.</p></div>

Q: Can you just let a fire burn out in a fireplace?

• <div><p>You can let a fire burn out in a fireplace as long as you or someone else will stick around to monitor it until it goes completely out. This may take several hours. To prepare, stop adding fuel to the fire well before you&rsquo;re ready to call it a night. If you&rsquo;re using the fireplace for warmth, you&rsquo;ll want to cover up in some blankets as the flame dies down.</p></div>
