Hi, I'm having a real problem with my old rumford fire place. It never worked well, smoked unless we opened a window. Now I'd like to put something propane in. It seems that a propane log set won't be safe bec. of the draw problem. But I can't fit any gas fireplace insert into the narrow back of the original fireplace. Can I just knock out a few firebrick from each back corner to widen it? Any other ideas? My first choice was gas logs. thanks
PS: I had a mason over to check it last week and the only thing he can see is that the damper is 40" x 5" and he thought it should have been 9" wide.
