Firepit Cover

I have a fireplace question?

My husband and I recently uncovered a fireplace built into the wall in our basement. it's been covered over for a couple years it looks like. We have a Gas Fireplace upstairs already. When we uncovered this one downstairs it looks like it's got the Fire Pit itself and it's been burned in. We don't have the glass front part of it. My question is... what do we need for it? I don't think we'd need an insert since it's already got the firepit and stuff? Do places just sell the glass/metal part? what the heck is it called anyway? sorry to be such a girl...lol

it's possible this one was sealed so that the one upstairs could work right.... opening this one might ruin what you got upstairs.... whatever you do, get a chimney sweep in there to check it out before you even THINK about putting a fire in it... he'll tell you if the chimney needs cleaned or if it was blocked for the upstairs fire or what.... get it looked at so you're safe, ok?.....if it's been closed, you'll need it cleaned anyways, so the inspection is the best idea since he's out there anyhoo.....
