Last week at the Oregon coast, we had the fireplace on for several hours in the am. A fellow rv'er and retired fireman noticed that you could not touch the veneer (sp?) above the fp because it was so hot. In ours there is a vacant box above the fireplace that is open and framed out of some unknow but, I suspect, inexpensive veneer. It was the bottom of the box which covers the fp. I don't know the flash point (yet) of the veneer Heartland uses but it was too hot to hold your hand on. The fireman friend advised that, over time, the problem would get more dangerous (don't that to be a fact yet). Any comments or others experiencing the issue??
