The wood fireplace goes back thousands of years and no one knows who invented it.

Benjamin Franklin invented a particular kind of stove (not a fireplace) that was more effective and efficient than a fireplace in warming a room and in fuel consumption. The Franklin Stove was also easier and safer to use for cooking than a fireplace was.
