The only thing standing between me and a dreamy 36″ stove is this non working 49″ wide fireplace. I’d like to recess the stove and hood within the column so it wouldn’t jut out like the sink in the photo. In order to avoid the cost of re linig the FP I would vent the hood directly through the back wall of the house.
Has anyone done this? If so,how much did it cost and can you recommend a contractor to do the work?
Thanks!
