I am looking at a couple used wood burning fireplace inserts. This house I bought has One fireplace, that has three pipes that get heated , kind of in the way for the Liner. I could take the center one out, easy enough. And has a 12" flue. There is another 12" flue that leads to vents in the stone on the right side of the firebox.. That thing must suck warm air out of the house.. Not sure what it is for.. Oh yeah, after getting my head in there I will have to do a good cleaning on it tommarow. I have the right size brush for it. Went and bought it today after seeing the condition of it....
Anyway fella's , you guys convinced me too get an insert. I havent bought one yet.. Hopefully sometime this week. Is there detailed instructions on how a insert should be installed somewhere??? I could not find them. I want to do it myself to save some cash. I could buy a 90cc saw for the price of an install. Thanks for any feedback. Here is some pic's of the fireplace.
Here is the damper and pipes... looks like maybee 5" Clearance for both that a liner could go through.
And here is that vent in the stone that goes to its own 12 flue.
