Chimney & Fireplaces/wall mount fireplace

Question
I have a wood stove flue hole on my wall. Is it possible to install a rear vented fireplace that I could mount on the wall.  

Answer
Hello Jeff, if that is what the "fireplace" is rated and designed for, then yes if the chimney is
safe, I have never seen a wall mounted fireplace, so you would  have to follow their instructions 100%, I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep www.csia.org, (there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
James
