About this book
Making a Fireplace considers a choice between an open fireplace designed for wood and a basket grate for burning coal, preferably cannel coal. The discussion presents the basket grate as a solution where an apartment has a flue built too small or an available chimney offers little flue area. The treatment of mantels describes houses where the mantel is frequently omitted and the chimney breast is treated independently as a whole.
The advice on managing a wood fire calls an ample bed of ashes the most important factor of all. The account credits wood ashes with doubling the fire's efficiency in throwing heat into the room and halving the care needed to keep it burning.
