Abstract: A fireplace having one or more conduits for directing outside combustion air into the firebox with a movable member adjacent a conduit outlet for normally closing said conduit and having either open or closed positions dependent upon the existence of a pressure difference across said member. A pressure difference caused by a fire in the firebox results in a higher pressure on the side of the member opposite the firebox to cause the member to move to open position. Operating structure is provided for positively closing the member and with the operating structure being operable from the front of the fireplace.

Abstract: A fireplace having passage means for directing outside combustion air into the firebox with a pair of outlet openings for said combustion air and each having an intake damper movable between open and closed positions at the outlet end of said passage means with operating structure for positioning of said intake dampers including handle means disposed at the front of the fireplace.

Abstract: A prebuilt fireplace construction for installation in a building structure, such as a mobile home. The construction includes a firebox having an open side and a combustion gas outlet adapted to be placed in fluid communication with a flue. A transparent door is provided for substantially sealing the open side and a housing at least partially surrounds the firebox in close proximity thereto to define an air space therebetween. The air space has a relatively low inlet and a relatively high outlet. A conduit isolated from the air space is provided and is adapted to be placed in fluid communication with a source of outside air. The conduit opens into the firebox to provide combustion air. A baffle is interposed between the opening of the conduit into th firebox and the combustion area thereof.
