House of the Dragon fireplace - doable?

Yes, this is purely curiosity, and yes, I get that it's a TV show



Assuming enough sq ftg, and ceiling height, is a fireplace that big doable in a residential home interior? My cousin says no, that the damper can't be that far away from the flame.

Thoughts?

This fireplace at the Grove Park Inn is about that size. The lintel is taller than many people.

Biltmore fireplace. Notice the chair on left for scale.

They absolutely exist. And most absolutely smoked in the house some as well
