Was there a flue pipe? The reason I ask is this looks like an outdoor fireplace that someone has “rigged” inside for a unique looking fireplace experience. My mind is doing mental gymnastics with all the possible disastorous problems this could create.

That is an interesting point. I thought about that, and did note that, but didn’t really know how the unit could have a hearth, as it would defeat the purpose of the design. Think about it…another 18" around the enitre fireplace…that would indeed take up a substantial amount of space.

It must have been recently installed because I don’t see any burn marks on the floor. No matter how careful you are sparks always seem to find a way out of the fire box. There should be some kind of fire resistant material below the fireplace.

I kinda like it. not a good heat source just “ambiance”. the fire tiles under (I’d say at least a 6’ x 6’) would ease me a little, but I think I’d still go with an electric foe (fake) flame.
