Much more coming in the future.  Our goal is to answer ever concept and foundational related hearth question. 

We do not (and have no plans to) attempt to answer questions about specific products online as changes are nearly constant with most manufacturers and the effort and up keep would be too great.  In addition, most manufacturers maintain their own websites and are a good source of detailed product specific information.  Our manufacturers links page is a great place to start for product specific questions, manuals and in many cases even cad drawings, framing specs and clearances. 

While our main site is being rebuilt, please visit our back-up site to see the broad array of information we have available.  Click Here
