3 or 4 years ago my wife and I were looking to build an IFC house. We located a builder in our area and went and looked at a house he completed about an hour form our home. In the demo residence there was a fire place that was similar to a Rumford design but different. This fire place was shallow at int he fire pit area and the fire brick curved our allowing the fire to "roll" out and over the curved wall facing up into a small over hanging flue. This curved wall facing was made of curved fire brick which let the flame leave an enclosed area. I have not seen this design before nor since. If I recall correctly the design was anciently significant, but I still can't find any information on this design. Is there any one in this forum that may be of assistance?
Thanks in advance.
