Rumford fireplace

Rumford fireplaces are tall and shallow to reflect more heat, and they have streamlined throats to eliminate turbulence and carry away the smoke with little loss of heated room air.

Rumford's method is to get the basic shape right, with a plumb bob and a special device he suggests for marking out the 135 degree angle for the covings. His masons used plaster to round off the breast. FYI: Superior Clay Corp. has been very successful in manufacturing vitrified clay Rumford throats and smoke chambers... consider using the segmented throat tiles.

Without question a fireplace can have an incredible effect on the design and flair the house will have.
