We need to replace our woodburning unit. Thought we had a woodburning insert, but the guy who did our site visit advises that we have a woodburning fireplace and cannot use an insert. I'm not sure I have a good idea what the difference is. Our unit looks like a built-in woodburning stove. Guy says to place an insert he would have to build a chimney and then install an insert. Says we can pull the old fireplace unit and put in a new one. We were planning to redo the whole mantle and surround anyway as part of the remodel. So, what is the difference and does anyone have any other ideas or input?
