Answer 2

Building a masonry fireplace is a job that takes experience. Maybe you should consider buying the fireplace kits made from steel. They have brick veneer fronts for nice appearance.

Answer 3

NFPA 211. This book contains all of the requirements (clearances, minimum design specifications etc) of solid-fuel burning appliances, including masonry fireplaces. However, it is not a blueprint, and much work must be spent in understanding the manual and cross referencing the different sections that apply to build a fireplace to that standard. Good luck.
