The fireplace is vented through the oven through two channels with two Finnish-made dampers to shut off fireplace when the oven is in use. There is also a drop-in firebrick slab in the shape of the damper opening in the oven that may be dropped into the dampers void to fill the gap and to create a full hearth for the time when the fireplace is not in use and the oven is used on a constant basis.
