The Virtual Designer- Kitchens & Bathrooms I have built one in my home just in the last 12 months but it really depends on the manufacturers specifications. If you can direct me to those, then I can help you further. I've posted a 3D CAD drawing of mine as I haven't got a real picture of mine handy at the moment.

Dytecture Most stone masons have their own knowledge of building wood burning fireplaces.

Ironwood Builders I agree with Dy, unless you have a manufactured fire box, the mason should build the box and flue using his/her experience as a guide. Double sided wood burners are notoriously smokey, so finding a mason with a good reputation and plenty of experience building this type of fire box is important.

The Virtual Designer- Kitchens & Bathrooms Hi again- I'm an Aussie and the term 'wood burner' means a metal box with a glass door on the front and in the situation where you have a 'double sided wood burner' that means two glass doors on each end. A wood burning fireplace open either side between two rooms is a different thing. Sorry about the confusion. I looked into building one of those in brick and was strongly advised to place a glass panel on one side ( as Ironwood has pointed out) the natural draughts that move through your home will take the smoke with it. A piece of glass will prevent this from happening.

tenpa Thanks for your kind help. I have found someone who can do it.

Ironwood Builders Great! No worries!
