Fireplaces

There are paints that can handle temperatures that high, but normal house paint is not going to do it and will just quickly burn off (possibly releasing toxic fumes in the process). You will need to get a special high temperature paint, and even for those 1500 degrees is fairly extreme. Rustoleum makes a spray paint for use on automobile engines that can allegedly tolerate up to 2000 degrees (Fahrenheit; about 1100 degrees Celsius) "intermittently", but I don't have any personal experience with it and can't say how well it would do at 1500 degrees for an extended period of time. Also, a lot of high heat coatings require "curing" at an intermediate temperature (say, 500 degrees) for some period of time; I don't know how well they'd work going from freshly painted straight to 1500 degrees.

To allow air to get to the wood and to allow ash to fall away thus allowing the heat to access unburned material

In the Garfield comic strips, the fire in the fireplace is often depicted as crucial for Garfield's comfort and relaxation. It provides a cozy atmosphere for him to nap beside and adds to the overall warm and homey feeling of his environment.

Not in an enclosed room. Any fire makes toxic fumes these MUST be taken away from people.

in a town called live oak ca ther are many instructors there.

It depends on the type of fireplace desired. The cost can range from $300 to thousands of dollars. The price is dependent on the type of fireplace and the materials that it is composed of.

Because they had air flow central heating (a hypocaust system) and the fire had to be in the place where that was and where the bathwater was heated,

Lighting this heater appears to have a number of warning messages associated with it. It is typically best to go to the source for such things, so see the link below for the manual PDF file. Look at page 29.

yes as long as local codes do not outlaw

Depending on local codes and of course the ifg, but i will have to say no

Yes you sure can but you must use a fireplace/ stove paint stovebright is a good reliable brand

Yes, it is a word that stands for more than one thing. It is most often known as a part in a fireplace that opens for air flow to the fire and to move smoke through the chimney. But see the related questions for more meanings of the word. It is not the correct spelling for the word flu, the short form of the word influenza, however.

It is not as bad as you think, the most difficult part is deciding whether to keep it as a gas fireplace or a wood burning fireplace with a gas lighter; so you can have both. Decide the gas to be used, Natural gas or LP (pretty much determined by what is already available) The fireplace itself needs little modification except the gas supply and available electrical circuit (depending what type/style gas fireplace you want.) If you decide on gas with artificial logs, then running black pipe to copper lines is all you need. If you are going to burn gas and use wood then run black pipe throughout (remember to use a cement product, for high heat, to seal any new whole in the fireplace.) Note: Either way you decide thoroughly clean the chimney and fireplace and inspect the doors, damper, flue, and look for cracks in the fireplace. I mention this because it is probably the last time you will need to do that. I have converted fireplaces in both ways; gas to wood burner and wood burner to gas. The insert is the biggest expense you will have, you can easily spend $600 on just those parts; not installed. And please don't forget to install and easily accessible gas shutoff valve.

There are several unrelated trees commonly called "cabbage trees"; you'll need to be more specific as to which one you mean.

Sheetrock is a brand name for a brand of gypsum board, and by it's nature, it fire resistant (it is made of ground up gypsum rock, mixed with water, extruded in a ribbon). Check with a building supply dealer for fire code rated drywall- it will be the correct thickness.

No. Used for firewood quite a bit. I hate splitting it.

That would be dangerous, but yeah try it. A fireplace would be better.



If it is dry, there is not reason why not. I hope you are not referring to the foliage, just the stem and trunk.

No it is not safe to burn it.

Yes.

Next question?

yes i agree have it checked by some one who knows what there doing fireplaces are know for clogging do to ash and sot and the chimney may need to be cleaned

Electric Fireplaces are simple to start. Plug them into a standard 120v household outlet and press the power button on the unit; or on the remote control.

No, but be sure you have permission to make such a large fire. Start with kindling like small sticks and twigs. Then pile on larger logs in the shape of a giant teepee. If you're not certain the twigs will light, you can also put some paper under the twigs or put just a LITTLE lighter fluid on them. Light the kindling and stand back to wait.

simply put, a sparger pipe is a pipe designed to introduce gas into a liquid.
