Shop wood burning inserts here: blazingembers.com
So your wondering if its worth it to put in a wood insert? First of all what is a wood insert, and how do you shop for one? That is what we talk about in this video. For starters lets define what a wood insert is. If you dont already have an existing fireplace in your home. You are not going to want a wood insert. You are going to want a Wood FIREPLACE. Wood inserts are designed to go into an old drafty fireplace that has an existing chimney. The point and purpose of a wood insert is really twofold. First and usually foremost, its to make your fireplace more efficient. How wood inserts do that is, is they seal off your old drafty fireplace. Also since the inserts are self contained units. They build up a lot more heat, and usually have ceramic glass, so you get a ton of radiant heat transfer and is fully capable of heating a whole home and can be used as your primary heater. So now the you know what a wood insert is, here are some tips on how to successfully shop for some.
First and most importantly is the size of your existing fireplace. You need to determine what your height, width, and depth is of your existing fireplace. Remember the insert will be physically inserted into the fireplace, so it won’t do any good to shop for one that is too large for your opening, as it would be impossible to install the insert. So that is the best place to start, because it will most likely eliminate some options for you so you can start to narrow down your choices.
Second you need to determine how much space you want to heat. Because even though all our wood inserts are super efficient, they do usually heat different amount of spaces based on how physically large the firebox is. Sometimes wood inserts won’t be flush but rather come out onto your hearth like a wood stove would. This allows for a deeper firebox, thus allowing more wood and can heat a much larger space. So if your trying to heat over 2,000 square feet as a primary heat source. I would for sure recommend something with a much deeper firebox so you can easily heat the square footage you desire.
Third would be looks. Sometimes you just want to spruce up the fireplace area, especially since its more of a focal point in the room. Maybe you want something flush with your opening and more modern clean lines.

At my mountain house I have an arch opening to the fireplace. It's quite large and I'm concerned about the surround piece covering it correctly. It is a masonry fireplace but has a metal 'heatilator' insert. You mentioned the metal boxes aren't good for inserts. Suggestions? Also, are you going to carry any rocket heaters (certified UL)? P.S. My primary home has an Osburn 2400 in the masonry fireplace. What a great stove. It was installed about 20 years ago, give or take a few years. It's the stove that sticks out from the face of the fireplace. Fantastic stove. One thing to remember about the inserts that could cause an issue. If you have a hearth that is just enough for the fireplace then put in the flush insert. If not you have to add a fireproof piece in front of it. There is a clearance needed to combustables such as the floor. This is the issue with the mountain house. I'll need a flush mount.

This unit has a blower and my fireplace is huge, I am so disappointed with its performance despite the manual claiming over 70% efficiency and 45k BTU.

The original fireplaces in the house were coal burning but were bricked up. I’m reopening the living room fireplace for aesthetic and heating purposes. I’m also going to get the chimney serviced.

I have a traditional rock fireplace. When I had it built I was able to find a unit that was a wood rack held by 2 inch square tubing. The thermostat was inside the tubing and connected to a covered box with a 100cfm blower. Everything set inside the fireplace except the blower vent which the face cover sat on, so the heat blows directly in the room. It works wonderful and still does. I purchased it in 1998 and installed it myself. The tubing is begining to crack slightly so I have been searching for another unit just like it. I have not been able to find it again. Do you have any resource that could find this type of unit?. It works wonderful!

We love the idea of a wood burning insert, but I'm a little concerned about how this kind of unit would distribute heat to the areas of the house that are furthest from the fireplace. Is this a valid concern, or have you seen these units distribute heat efficiently throughout the house?

@@embersliving Okay, I've been reading many older posts on how to go about this. What we have is a Heatform fireplace. The guy who came to offer me a bid on my old homes roof also does fireplace inserts. (We are waiting on roof as it would have to be stripped down to original 1878 wood and built up ...etc. He said we have time. Ugh! ) Anyway, he also said the metal firebox surround was in decent shape except for the top flue which was rusted out. Came apart actually and he suggested an insert. It's not terribly big 36"wide by 24" high... First we must get a good clean out by a chimney sweep person. Do you have any ideas on a good insert. I understand there remains a tax rebate till the end of this year. Don't think we should wait until later too.
