Manufactured fireplaces are prefabricated steel boxes. Fires inside of dwellings have been around since early man built a fire on the floor for heat and cooking. In these early dwellings, smoke would escape by whatever route it could, or be blown back into the space. Chimneys were invented much later, and aided a great deal in correcting the ventilation problem.
