Non certified Buckley Rumford Fireplaces: If you are not building a "Certified Buckley Rumford Fireplace" required in Washington and parts of California, Colorado and other places that regulate fireplace emissions see the General Rumford Fireplace Instructions.

Guarantees: All materials used to build Buckley Rumford fireplaces, as specified in these Instructions, meet or exceed the appropriate ASTM standards and meet or exceed the requirements for masonry fireplaces set forth in all the national model building codes. Our customers have also asked us to guarantee that Buckley Rumford fireplaces will exhaust all the products of combustion, or "draw". There are many factors beyond our control which can affect the performance of any fireplace, the greatest of these being excessively negative indoor air pressure, but we are willing to make this qualified guarantee: If built according to these Instructions, Buckley Rumford fireplaces are guaranteed to exhaust all the products of combustion, provided the ventilation system in the house is balanced.
