SawHorse Design Build on Feb 17, 2014If is a one story conversion and not near any windows, there might be some direct vent models which can save you money on the construction of a chimney. Since you are in the ATL area- check out this company- they can help you with some options- http://www.builderspecialties.net/atlanta-appliances-products/atlanta-fireplaces.htmlHelpful Reply

Linda Santos on Feb 17, 2014It is a twelve foot ceiling, and we want to place it between two large windows (space between is 8'). The main concern is the height it will have to be, probably a good 24 ft.Helpful Reply

SawHorse Design Build on Feb 17, 2014We really don't need that much heat here in GA. What about buying a TV for the wall and having a dvd play an image of a fire? I saw that once and thought is was a brilliant way to create the effect you are looking for. (I am partially joking, but if you like the idea- I am not)Helpful Reply
