Cob:

Sun Feb 16 11:12:33 CST 2003

I, too, was thinking to put the heater (fireplace) in the middle of the house; with the idea it would more easily heat the entire house. 
However, I am thinking that while the chimney would go up to the roof, where is the air intake coming from - under the house? Otherwise, the fire would draw from inside the house. 
Also, someone told me that a cob fireplace, while fine with an open face, would crack under the intense heat of a closed system such as the masonry design. Thoughts?
