Confirm the Host Can Accept the Insert

Wood burning fireplace insert selection starts with the existing fireplace and chimney, not just the face dimensions. The depth, surrounding materials and condition of the host can affect which products may be considered. A damaged fireplace does not become sound simply because an insert hides it.

Wood burning fireplace insert installation also requires suitable access around trim and serviceable components. The installation should not block the functions or openings required by the selected appliance.

Connect the Insert to Its Intended Venting

Wood insert installation often involves a compatible lining arrangement through the retained chimney. The route, connection and termination need to follow the appliance and liner requirements. Existing venting is not presumed suitable because it previously served an open fireplace.

Wood stove insert installation is distinct from setting a freestanding appliance in a room. For a fireplace insert install, the host, hearth protection and appliance instructions form one project. We discuss those needs before the finish is completed, then review operation and maintenance access for the new insert.

Common Problems

What Have You Noticed Around Your Fireplace?

A wood insert needs more than an opening wide enough to hold it.

The selected insert must be permitted for the host construction and connected through the venting system its instructions require.

  • Plans to install a wood insert in an existing fireplace
