In general, no. There are some wood stoves that are called fireplaces (free standing metal) but they are not fireplaces. A fireplace is permanently built into the structure.
Firewood is used for burning. Either in an open outdoor fire, on a grill for cooking, or inside in a fireplace or woodstove. Its uses are cooking, heat or enjoyment.
The corner of a fireplace is called an Inglenook!
A beater fireplace or insert woodstove typically refers to a type of wood-burning appliance designed to efficiently heat a space while being easy to use and maintain. These stoves often have a modern design and can be installed into an existing fireplace or used as a standalone unit. They are known for their high efficiency and ability to produce significant heat output, making them a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce heating costs. Additionally, they can contribute to a cozy ambiance, as they provide visible flames and the comforting crackle of burning wood.
The metal support used in a fireplace is called a "fireplace grate." It is placed inside the fireplace to hold logs and allow airflow for a better burning fire.
The top part of a fireplace mantle is called the mantel shelf. It is the horizontal ledge that extends across the top of the fireplace to display decorative items.
