Usually a masonry unit that burns wood, is built into the wall of a house, and has a permanent chimney. Fireplaces in mobile homes are included. Fireplaces may have glass doors or metal shields to cover the opening into the room. Accessories, such as convective grates or radiant grates, may be present to increase the efficiency of the fireplace. Included are fireplaces that use equipment fueled by natural gas or LPG. These gas fireplaces may or may not have a flue to the outside. A free-standing fireplace that can be detached from its chimney is a heating stove. (See Heating Equipment and Heating Stove Burning Wood, Coal or Coke.)

A fireplace is an architectural element consisting of a space designed to contain a fire, generally for heating but sometimes also for cooking. The space where the fire is contained is called a firebox or firepit; a chimney or other flue allows gas and particulate exhaust to escape the building. While most fireplaces are constructed in building interiors, sometimes outdoor fireplaces are created for evening warmth, outdoor cooking or decorative purposes.
