From The Build Show.
In this episode of the Build Show, Stephanie explores the heart of the home—a fireplace that defines both style and function. Joined by Carrie Phillips, Northwest Regional Manager for Earthcore Industries, they dive into the design and installation of the Isokern Magnum 72, a grand six-foot masonry fireplace chosen for a stunning high-altitude project. They discuss the challenges of drafting at 8,000 feet, HOA restrictions on venting, and how Isokern’s innovative X Vento fan system ensures quiet, efficient performance. Stephanie and Carrie highlight the benefits of volcanic pumice construction—lighter, stronger, and backed by a lifetime warranty—while showcasing versatile firebrick options for custom design. From engineering considerations to timeless aesthetics, this episode is packed with insights for builders, architects, and homeowners who want fireplaces that make a statement while performing flawlessly.
