Fireplace insert for this fireplace? Help!
Hello,
We have a 1928 home with a decorative fireplace (attached photo w/ dimensions). Does anyone know of a product (direct vent? house has no chimney.) that would work for this? Do custom solutions exist?
We can't seem to find one that will fit - please help! 
Thanks,
Dave |

Hal, I'll send you a DM with a link and you can explain your situation whether you are going to use gas or wood. Bones

you can probably find a custom company for that. Not sure if you will find a spec (prebuilt) one for that.

You could probably find an electric solution. I don't think they need venting... you would have to wire behind the fireplace & probably cut through some of the stonework in the back. or bottom (but it would be concealed by the insert anyway). I would look into an electric insert & then get a beautiful screen to go in front... (maybe something black iron and arts & craft, from the look of the wood work nearby)

Much appreciated
Thanks everyone for the help - I'm going to make a post on the forum you recommended, Bones.
As for a custom solution - I haven't been able to find a company that will custom tailor a size - I'll try a bit more googling.
An electric log would be enhanced by covering it a with a nice screen - thanks for the idea. It's not our ideal solution, but I'll keep it in mind.
If anyone has any other suggestions, we'd be grateful.
Enjoy your weekends, everyone!

That's a nice looking option...particularly the driftwood, and stones vs. coal |

what you can do is look into the cost of adding a flue to the house. I would not think it would be too difficult to add. There must have been a Chimney at one point in time, you could look at running a newer flue along the same area that used to have the chimney. |
