Yes, but the stove pipe should extend into the flue, and have a fire proof fitting- not just extending through a cover at the face of the fireplace, Consult a chimney specialist for an installation that will meet building codes.

Dry birch would be better. With any wet wood, you will be using some of the heat value to drive off and evaporate the water. Birch is sort of an average firewood- better than some, worse than some.

Yes, this is a great way to exhaust a single hose portable air conditioner. You would simply need to adapt the hose connections to the front of your fireplace. I have seen an installation where the front of the fireplace was sealed with a piece of plexiglas. The plexiglas had been custom cut to fit the portable AC's fittings.

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A DUAL HOSE PORTABLE AC UNLESS YOU OPERATE IT IN SINGLE HOSE MODE. The reason is that the hot exhaust air will pool in the fireplace itself and be drawn back into the unit through the intake hose if it was installed.

Plywood is typically made from pine products (and glue) that really can be bad for your fireplace. The tar builds up and can lead to what is called a "flue" fire. Flue fires have been responsible for starting fires and burning homes.

well if you want to the wood FASTER pine, cedar,manzaneta those burn the fastest but if you want more heat oak is the wood you want but it is harder to start and burn slower so what i do is start the fire with pine or cedar and then add the oak but make sure that the wood is dry that way it burns easier :)

Hard wood the tighter the grain the better.

Cottonwood burns fast, with little odor when well dried.

I've always been a fan of the fire fireplaces, myself.

There is probably no reason against it.

Orange wood burns very well, it burns quite quickly therefore gives more rapid heat.

Ventless fireplaces require less maintenance than real ones, and they also are usually electric or based on a gel-like fuel. Top brands such as "Real Flame" or "Vermont Castings" have a good reputation for quality products.

Unless you want to suffocate i suggest you open it

You use it whenever your cold, and not comfortable just in a sweater. Today it was 57 degrees and I wanted it started but we didn't have any wood. So I guess it depends on the person.

Chimney caps are sold by various companies. As chimneys come in different varieties, it's important to make sure the chimney cap you are purchasing is suited for your chimney. Companies like Woodland Direct supply all types of chimney caps and are a good starting point to look into.

Due to air quality problems, there will be AREAS with CA where it is not permitted- and some areas where you cannot get a building permit to install one.

Yes

Traditionally in rural places, garbage service was not available, so anything unneeded including garbage was burned. Now, service may be available, but it is still a tradition to many families to keep one or two barrels behind the house where garbage and other unwanted and unneeded items such as old clothes, unneeded books, broken toys and games, etc., are dumped. When a barrel gets full, a lit match will dispose of the contents. People still do it because it's cheap, but also tradition. The burning destroys not only garbage but also items that were once useful but no longer are useful. It serves as a reminder of the importance of "letting go" of items when they have crossed the line into being clutter and junk. The burning duty may be a daily occurrence, weeky occurrence or a chore for a designated family member who reaches a certain age of responsibility.

Depends on usage of fireplace. Have propane tank topped off monthly to figure out how much gas being used. Either that, or wait until tank is empty.

its not suggested but it also depends on the varnish.

نعم بالتأكيد يصلح لاحتوائه على مادة الشعله ويمتاز ب نشوفة الخشب وجفافه

no it releases a poisonous gas that can kill you after just one week of constant burning

A door damper, is something that slows down the door when closing for safety of children and adults.

It kept them from freezing in the cold days.
