This is talking about a fireplace in a country house. I believe it is one which is covered with glass. There are no pictures. Here is the context -
Der grosse Salon ist mit einem Heizkamin gestattet, der auch offen nutzbar ist.
Any ideas how to translate into English ?

closed fireplace
From US-A-4 111 989 is known a closed fireplace (a closed fireplace is a fireplace having a combustion chamber closed all around, except for air inlets and fumes outlets) comprising a base member, a closed combustion chamber, a fumes exhaust duct and a draught inlet. The combustion chamber is partly formed by transparent glass panels.
This fireplace provides more safety and a better draught, but requires a fumes exhaust pipe located on top.

In the USA, stove has more of a cooking connotation rather than a heating meaning

fireplace heating system
The Heizkamin is a bit more than "just" a fireplace; it is connected to a heating system that uses the heated air to heat other rooms as well.
