- I design and build a fireplace surround for a Superior DRC2035TMN 35" natural gas fireplace. I had to trim down about three hours of raw footage to make this video...sheesh! Thank you to all who were involved in making this project a reality.

Turned out so nicely, MIchael. So proud of all you accomplish. Love Emersyn's ending...."All done!"
Thank you!
I am with Sara! No more wood burning stuff for me. Gas or pellet is my jam these days.
Great job, great family. Thanks
Amazing! I recognized so many of your tools as the same type Jim used from the Kreg Jig to the clamps!
They sure do come in handy!
Greta video Michael. Clearly you spent many nights working on this and it looks amazing. I bet it works great also. It is beautiful!
Thank you very much 😊
Nicely done! Also your audio levels and music volume were perfect!
Great! Not sure if we'll be able to say the same for the next video though. A lot of the dialogue is from my tree stand so I'm whispering.
Lol! Gasland! Bro water been catching on fire for a 100 years! Look it up. It's not because of fracking.
nothing is more environmentally friendly than heating your home with natural gas.
Geothermal is probably the best way to heat your home but you'll pay out the a** for it up front.
Looks Great!!!!
Thank you!
Screws must have been on sale. 😜
Wow amazing 😮 👏
Great work looks really nice.
Thank you very much!!!
electrical junction behind the firebox nice
I'm a fireplace tech and was wondering about the clearance from the opening of the fireplace to the bottom of the mantle....looks low to me.
I'd have to dig out the installation manual to get you the exact dimensions but I know it's designed/built within tolerance. Inspector signed off on it too 👌
That's pretty nice! You MUST be a perfectionist! You taped off your caulking. Hey, more power to ya! Wish i had your patience! Serious question, why not just install a ventless gas fireplace so you didn't have to cut a hole in your roof?
Personal preference. I just didn't like the idea of a fireplace sucking oxygen from the room to burn and then the fumes being released back into the room.
Wonderful to find your channel. I'll look forward to checking you out more. Much Support from Hardluck Survival channel. Enjoy and Be Safe Mrs. Rob Ret Vet
Thank you! Welcome to our channel & community! 😀
Never use pipe dope on a flare fitting connection, only on NPT threads
I did not know that, thank you!
That’s beautiful, how much you charge to do mine 🤣
Love your video. You're a great carpenter. Sarah did a better job however. congrats. :)
Pretty sure your gas system is not up to even late 90s code. Should be ridged into the appliance (since there’s no access). You also need a gascock. Other than that cool build, I think.
That could be. Our Town building inspector signed off on it and the fireplace instructions said flexible to the appliance was acceptable (though I realize code differs by location).
I have two gascocks actually. One in the basement below the appliance and one side the appliance where the flex hose attaches to the unit (accessible by removing the front grill on the fireplace).
@@TheGreenAcreWI gotcha, didn’t see it
I’m thinking of doing something very similar. Mind if I ask what this cost in supplies? Not tools necessarily but Materials including the fireplace.
I didn't track what the total project ended up costing but I would estimate all said and done close to a few thousand. This was built early in the pandemic before build materials skyrocketed as well I believe.
Just wondering how many weeks did it take you to complete this with a kid galloping all around🤔
I honestly don't remember how long it ended up taking. Couldn't have been more than a couple weeks.
got tired of the lecture. will watch another video
Lol.
Planning to install an insert with a blower. I need an outlet in the existing wood fireplace. Do you know whether I can use regular outlet or any special outlet is needed duebtobthe heat?
I'm not qualified to answer that but I would imagine a standard outlet would be just fine.
@@TheGreenAcreWI I appreciate your response!
Very nice. Curious why you put vents on the side?
Good question! Heat produced from the fireplace gets trapped inside the surround which I felt was both a potential hazard and also a waste of warmth. By adding the vents I am able to circulate the air inside the surround. Cool air from the room is passively pulled in through the lower vents and the warm air from inside the surround is forced out through the upper vents. It worked out pretty well actually!
@@TheGreenAcreWI good to know. I just want installed s gas fireplace myself. Mine had an inner and an outer tube.
@@Mustafghan Yes, mine has a double walled vent pipe as well which does cut down substantially on heat transfer but the top of the fireplace itself still let's off quite a bit of heat inside the surround that I wanted to utilize/circulate out.
@@TheGreenAcreWI I see. I thought you would want that to vent out the gases like carbon monoxide
@@Mustafghan I see. If the exhaust vents were installed correctly, there shouldn't be any carbon monoxide escaping into the room. All noxious gases should be escaping through the chimney outlet on the roof.
Great video. But isn’t that a relatively tiny flame for all the work put into that? Does it give off good heat?
These fire starters are meant for...well starting fires. They aren't intended to be a stand alone heat source merely a means of holding a flame on kindling long enough to ignite it without the need for lighter fluid. I use these everytime I burn yard debris or have a bonfire with the family!
@@TheGreenAcreWI I mean the firebox itself. In the last shot you have it on, and pan up to the TV. It just looks like a pretty small little fire. I say this because I’m interested in adding a propane fireplace to my living room but for a means of heat as well as ambience. So I’m hoping mine will produce much more flame that I’m seeing in your video. But the shiplap style you went with is 100% the style I want.
My apologies, I thought this comment was related to my latest video on "fire starters" lol I should have looked closer.
I was a little disappointed in the flame height on this fireplace to be honest. With that said though, it does put off a good amount of heat still. For your situation, I might recommend installing a blower to really force the heat out into the room, especially if you are trying to heat a larger area then we have.
Some fireplace models allow you to adjust the flame height as well, unfortunately, I haven't found a way to do that with this model.
