That was the idea. With an exterior wall chimney, you can use the ash
door (who dumps the ashes down the bottom of the fireplace anyway?).
Have to build that in, however.
Otherwise, if you can build an insulated duct to the front of the
fireplace, do so. Fire burns nicely behind glass doors, no interior
air goes up chinmey.
Better yet, build in a Heatilator fireplace -- cast iron box with
ducts in the interior that pull cold air off the floor and vent heated
air from the iron box into the room. With exterior combustion air,
you are all set, works like a woodstove but you can see the fire.
