Found this at yesterday’s inspection. Cast iron wood burning grill mounted in brick, overhead hood with old-style pull-chain vent fan that was non-functional. Is indoor installation acceptable? Sorry I don’t have the name brand. ![100.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/0/c/0c3ceabc3076e5a735d6e9422924e4e3108d0451.jpeg) ![100.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/0/c/0c3ceabc3076e5a735d6e9422924e4e3108d0451.jpeg) ![100.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/0/c/0c3ceabc3076e5a735d6e9422924e4e3108d0451.jpeg) ![100_1640 (Medium).jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/8/9/89a75d19610711851680162808665de3a87310ab.jpeg) ![100_1634 (Medium).jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/b/9/b9b18f544b4c7e2a4b4d0b8968f8e15a5a635d88.jpeg) ---

Did the burner box have an outside flue? Dick ---

System needs a Chimney. Recommend further review (Level 2) of the system. ---

This was located in the kitchen, backing the fireplace and chimney in the family room. The flue could join into the fireplace flue, but was unable to see; vent grating was blocked on the bottom end. The vent grating was horizontal and faced down toward the grill; the non-functioning vent fan would pull air into this space. Pic is the chimney at the exterior ![100_1570a (Medium).jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/1/a/1a920b431606c9c257a9e3fbb08d057b86673f73.jpeg) ---

There appears to be several flues at the chimney. Recommend a Level 2 Inspection / Certification of the Chimney and Flues. [http://www.csia.org/PressRoom/PressReleases/003Levels/tabid/76/Default.aspx](http://www.csia.org/PressRoom/PressReleases/003Levels/tabid/76/Default.aspx) ---
