In EU asbestos is illegal, and we have lots of cast iron and plate iron fireplaces for burning wood.
For optimal and cleaner burning they have very light ceramic plates, no health problems whatsoever.
I’m no expert, but I think it’s the same base material used on the space shuttle, which AFAIK is also used on spacex starship.
Some sort of silica, that is pretty cheap to make.
So no I don’t think any fireplace would be made with asbestos today, if that is the case that they do, I bet it’s only in USA.
Not to mention the fact that steel fireplaces are being manufactured for use in homes, so someone figured out how to keep it from causing issues.
yea just a thin layer of abestos

Asbestos is fine as long as it’s encapsulated.
While true, I’m sure a homeowner will eventually drill through it to hang something.
