Hi
New to forum, so hoping for some advice on a fireplace project - hoping this is right forum.
Gas fire removed by engineer. Purchased new electric stove.
Gap remaining - want to potentially cable fire in at opening, electrician due to view soon.
What to do with gap? Was considering filling with hardboard to exactly cover hole with a prop behind in case needed access in future, painting black and putting stove in front.
Do I need small vent at front? Anything up chimney such as insulation?
Any suggestions?
Complete novice so advice appreciated
Thanks

If you block the chimney you will get condensation. As its a chimney the top is open so a vent at the bottom would allow air flow, besides if you block it off, how will santa get down?

Above are my opinions Below is my signature.
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.
