Masons are building the Rumford fireplace, which uses a design that’s approximately 200 years old. In profile, the Rumford is tall and shallow, so as to reflect a lot of heat, and there is a streamlined throat between the firebox and the flue. Heat Stop Refractory Mortar, which conforms to building codes, is being used to withstand the high temperatures generated in the firebox.
