• <div><p>The installation cost for a brick or stone gas fireplace typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000. Key factors that influence the total expense include the type of material chosen, labor costs, the setup for the gas line, venting requirements, and any custom design elements.</p></div>

Q: Can you burn wood with Dutch elm disease?

• <div><p>Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it&rsquo;s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you&rsquo;re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.</p></div>
