Abstract: In a method for manufacture and mounting of fire-places, e.g. stoves, a lower and an upper half of the fire-place are manufactured separately and transported to the mounting place. The lower half is positioned and subsequently the upper half is lifted by means of a wheel-supported lifting frame, adjusted into its correct position and fastened by means of mortar to said lower half, whereupon connection to a smoke flue and a chimney is made. A device for mounting fire-places, e.g. stoves, comprises a wheel-supported lifting frame having a unit for lifting prefabricated fire-place halves to which lifting means are attached. The frame has such dimensions that lifting a distance corresponding at least to the height of said lower fire-place half is possible.
