We have considered the Malm fireplaces because they act like a woodstove, but you can still see the fire.

Where are you planning to put the fireplace? Interior or Exterior? On an outside wall?

We converted our garage into a music/family room. The wall is an outside wall facing the street.

If 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.html

It 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.

We 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)

Just picked up an electric fireplace and love it.plan to move it onto my porch for cold summer nights and plan to build a makeshift mantle with columns from michaels/craft shop or repurposed posts and some type of shelf for a mantle worksfor me with minimal price and great effect

We have one of those in our living room, but need something other than electric when bad weather hits! Thanks.

Take some pictures and measurements of the room to a local fireplace store, I am sure they can advise you.
