But yeah, fireplace just sounds so much cooler...

Although... Why not... Fire shoe? Yeah, that's even better.

Fire shoe it is. I'll let Oxford know.

Also not the same thing, the fireplace is the part where the fire goes, the chimney is the part above it that makes it so you don’t die of smoke inhalation

'Fire shoe' encompasses both meanings satisfactorily.
