Discussion about
My current apartment used to have two separate kitchens. Only one remains but in the former kitchen there is a capped gas line coming our from the riser. How problematic or simple is it to utilize this gas line for a gas heat stove or gas fireplace? Coop approval and permits should not be a problem since there are other fireplaces in the building and the coop is very relaxed. Venting seems like in would be simple as well since there are exterior walls onto our patio adjacent this gas line.

It is not possible to suggest anything without having a look at it, so please can you post some photos of it as then only I can suggest on it.

You may run into some problems with venting and being far enough away from operable windows/doors.

There are no photos but here is a the floorplan here. The gas line is next to the patio in the room labelled 6'11 x 14 Kitchen. It is under a window and a few feet from a door out to the patio.
