[QUOTE="Philbert, post: 7099496, member: 12609"] We put in an insert about 30 years ago. Older house came with a shallow (coal?) fireplace. This one has a glass front. Extended the hearth a bit, had metal plate made to cover the opening, and ran a stainless liner up the chimney. It's nice, but I don't think that it kicks out as many BTU's because it does not radiate the way a free standing stove would. A blower might help, but we mostly run it 'recreationally', not to heat the house. EDIT: still more efficient than the fireplace! [ATTACH=full]779193[/ATTACH] Philbert [/QUOTE]
