Re: Gas Fireplace Chimney Clearance
Jon, I agree with Rick on the min. height and cricket. Appears to be right at 30" wide. From the side view, it appears there are two air kit intakes on either side of the gas line, which enters the rear of the firebox. From above, it appears this is a factory built fireplace with a faux brick chimney and two piece stone chase top that somebody sealed off the top of the air cooled pipe with sheetmetal then installed a direct vent liner kit.

Can you confirm this is a factory built Fp?
Model#?
Interior pics?

If it is a factory built woodburner with a gas insert installed, it does not meet the minimum height for most Fps per the listing I'll bet. That roof flashing or the lack thereof appears to be a mess. Is this real brick or 1/2" lick 'em & stick 'em?

I would recommend a Level II inspection. Looks as though they had water problems and I'll bet the insert was installed due to smoking problems.
Bob
