I have to agree that return is a bit close to the fireplace????

Keep in mind that there are many furnaces that can have the return piped to the back side of a fireplace heat exchanger and just use the blower of the furnace to move the heated air through out the home.

Little Silver is in Monmouth County, exit 109 on the Garden State Parkway, at the Jersey Shore. Camden is outside Phila. Pa, and about 2 hrs from Little Silver ( http://www.google.com/maps?q=Little+...i=map&ct=title )
