I currently have what seems to be standard now in newer construction homes, a direct vent gas fireplace installed into a bump out. I was all set on putting a free standing stove on the other side of the house however the wife isnt a fan of that idea. I am trying to make the current location work for a zero clearance wood fireplace setup. I understand this would require new framing and construction to fit in the new fireplace. The bump out is 24" deep and 5' wide. I can see from my basement I beams running out to the bump out so I'm assuming it would support the added weight of a zero clearance fireplace such as the quadra fire 7100 or FPX 36. However, to keep the fireplace in the same area the chimney would run up the outside wall of the house that is only 1 story. Rest of house is 2 stories. I understand the chimney should go above the tallest roof height. If that must happen I would have quite a bit of chimney not able to be anchored to the house. I would want to have a chase around the class a. Does this sound possible? Really trying to stay with wood but I understand a pellet insert will pretty much be a plug and play setup with what I currently have after removing the Lennox 3530 gas fireplace. What are my options?
