My husband Mike and I are going to build our own house next year. We have plans drawn by a designer, that are almost done.
There will be 3 floors. We are thinking of having a daylight basement (for rental, to offset construction costs), a gas fireplace, and on the middle (main) floor (our floor) installing a wood-burning fireplace/stove to save energy.
Do you have any info or recommendations about wood-burning fireplaces, and where & how to find a cheap wood fireplace?
We live in Seattle, and must meet WA EPA codes of 4.5 grams emission for non-catalytic and 2.5 grams for catalytic...
Also, we reserved space for a dumbwaiter (small 30"x30" elevator) throughout 3 floors. Do you have any recommendations or watch-outs for it?
Appreciate your reply! Joy
Hi Joy,
Here is a great information site on wood burners from HPBA.

For information on gas fireplaces, including an installation video, read my page on "Gas Fireplaces" on byoh.com.
