Mechanical/Structural Engineering Design — Custom Wood-Burning Hearth for Barn (Missouri PE License preferred) Project description: I am building a custom freestanding open-hearth wood-burning fireplace inside a new 60’ × 80’ post-frame agricultural building in Jefferson County, Missouri. I need an engineer to review, refine, and complete the integrated system design and potentially produce stamped construction drawings. About the project: The hearth is an open design in the building. Major components: • 6’ × 4’ firebrick fire pit with steel grate at 36” above finished existing concrete floor • Freestanding truncated-pyramid steel hood (10-gauge mild steel) approximately 7’ × 5’ at the bottom skirt, 30” round collar at the top, 60-72” tall • Hood supported by four steel columns anchored to the concrete slab — not attached to the building structure • Class A insulated chimney venting vertically through the barn roof (eave height 16’, ridge approximately 20’) • 10’ × 8’ hearth pad with stone or brick veneer

Hello, I have experience with custom fireplace, steel hood, chimney support, and structural anchorage design for residential and agricultural buildings. This project interests me because the freestanding hearth system needs both mechanical draft/fire-safety review and structural checks for the hood, columns, slab anchorage, and roof penetration. I will review your concept, verify the firebox, hood geometry, chimney path, clearances, steel support frame, anchors, and hearth pad details against applicable code requirements. I will refine the design, identify any slab or roof coordination issues, and prepare construction drawings with notes and calculations for permit review. If a Missouri PE stamp is required, I can coordinate the final sealed package accordingly. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

Hi, Thank you for the opportunity to collaborate on your custom freestanding open-hearth wood-burning fireplace project in Missouri. I understand you need a comprehensive engineering design for a steel-supported hearth system with firebrick fire pit, structural hood, Class A chimney integration, and slab-anchored support columns designed for safe operation within a post-frame agricultural building. My deliverables will include detailed structural engineering calculations, steel member sizing and connection design, load path verification for hood and chimney system, foundation anchorage design, and coordinated stamped construction drawings suitable for permitting in Missouri. I will also ensure code-compliant design integration covering applicable fire safety, thermal considerations, roof penetration detailing, and coordination between architectural intent and structural performance with full PE stamping support. Could you share expected fuel burn rate or usage intensity, any local AHJ/fire marshal requirements already provided, and soil/slab thickness details along with wind/snow load assumptions for Jefferson County? Once confirmed, I can align my multidisciplinary PE team to deliver a fully coordinated, permit-ready package with an efficient review and revision cycle. Jose

Hello! Your project requires engineering validation and completion of a custom freestanding open-hearth system, including the fire pit, steel support structure, hood, chimney assembly, slab anchorage, and load path analysis while maintaining compliance with applicable structural and fire-safety requirements. I have experience with structural and mechanical design for custom steel systems, equipment supports, and building-integrated installations, developing detailed calculations, connection details, and construction drawings suitable for review and permitting. My approach is to evaluate the hood and chimney loads, design the column and anchorage system, verify slab capacity and stability, coordinate venting requirements, and prepare a complete engineered drawing package with supporting calculations and stamping coordination if required. I understand the importance of creating a safe, durable, and code-compliant installation within the post-frame building environment. I would be glad to discuss the project further and review any sketches, dimensions, or preliminary designs.
