[AC2717]

I Actually took a old free standing fireplace from the basement floor (purchased from someone that was getting rid of it) of a house that vented into a chimney. I created a smoke stack for it with vent pipe and a spark arrestor cap, now no smoke on my deck, and it expells far enough in the air, high above everyone. best part is no smoke smelling clothes anymore. Purchased the vent pipe at local shop and painted with high temp paint and ran a 2x4x12 support post behind it that I screwed into the railing in two places, and a strap to hold the stack, far enough away from the heat from the pipe. I am not a fan of propane fire pits, I love the smell, and cracking and heat from a wood fire. All in, I was around $125-$150 including the precast concrete blocks underneath.
