Reply to comment by MmmPeopleBacon in Turned an Outdated Living Room into a Functional Living/Play Room by Reptar4President

Hah yeah we did when we moved in. Totally fine, the previous owners tried to start a fire but forgot to open the flue. They put it out before any damage was done though.

Good, a lack of draw is usually the reason and not opening the flue is a common cause. Nice work overall though.

Have to ask why'd you grind the hearth if you wear just going to pour self leveling cement? Depth issue?

Exactly, and also nowhere near level. Whoever installed the old tile made up for it with way too much thinset in some places and almost none in others.

Also get a CO meter, just in case.
