The hood is used if the mantle is too close and could overheat. Most of the time it is needed if the mantle is closer than 28″ to the firebox opening. It also matters how far out the mantle extends. The less it extends the closer to the firebox opening it can be. The hood is about 4″ wide and is available in black or polished brass. The hood goes at the top of the firebox opening. Look here for vent free hoods.
