I have been putting in this "electric" fireplace. We moved to a Condo and I am not allowed to put in a real one. Besides I have no chimney. My last home had a real fireplace but I have to live with what I now have.
All I have left to do on this is install the stone hearth at the bottom which will open on hydraulics for storage. (really electric lifts)
The wall is 1/8th" steel plates. I ground them to have those swirls.
It started like this. The entire thing is also on wheels so I can move it away from the wall for maintenance, painting and when I hide from my wife. The black thing at the bottom is the sound bar for the TV
I cut the steel with an electric sheers as a tin snips won't cut it.
The mantel is 8 2X8s glued together and "hollowed" out to fit on the fireplace.
The "Stovepipe was from a copper gutter.
I bent it round and held it in place with these.
