Installing log burner brickwork question

[Mobo_14]

Hello

I have a job coming up where the customer had an old fireplace in the middle of a room open on 2 sides.

This has since been studded and sheeted on one side leaving the other side open.

The idea is to install a log burner in heating up the room with the fire place still open to.

Now here’s the question. The fireplace is old imperial brick cladded in stone would I need to line all three open sides with fire brick before the log burner goes in or would it be ok to leave as is and install a fire brick wall at the back to protect the new plasterboard??

I was planning on installing a fiber board in between this to stop heat transfer but just wondering if anyone had any input on this

cheers

Mobo_14, good evening.

My first port of call would be the Tec. Blurb that comes with the L/Burner?? Or ask the qualified person who is going to undertake the installation??

Or a call to the technical Dept. of the L/Burner maker??
