3/14/08 Finally, a metal Rumford by Industrial Chimney Company that incorporates Rumford's design principles and apparently is clean-burning and efficient. It may be an excellent choice if a light weight "zero-clearance" fireplace is needed on an upper floor with no foundation. It is light weight and metal, however. The jury is still out on how long it will last and we don't know yet how much it will cost. See the sales flyer.

"Colonial"TM Rumford-Style Fireplace (high vertical opening)" says Lennox, even though it's only 29" tall. But they are trying to make it look like a real masonry fireplace.

George, Thanks. Imitation is the best compliment - I guess. We will assume any mention of "Rumford" ultimately helps us. Jim ********* well, Lennox called this a "Rumford" style. i am not endorsing it, just sending it as a curiosity ;) george "George Petrides"
