Joanne H.: Very quick delivery! Love the wide clean look of this fireplace insert. Bought to replace a propane fireplace which was hardly used. The crackling log sound is nice on lower setting or doesn’t need on at all.

Robert: It was a great solution to an older fireplace that could be used for real wood anymore and much simpler and less expensive than a gas fireplace. There is sufficient heat for our needs on the low setting

kryptonian007: The TOP to BOTTOM measurement of the fireplace opening is the most important. I have the Western 30" and the top to bottom fits perfectly with a 2" space on the left and right side. Remove the metal/glass cover on the fireplace by loosening the bolts located on the inside of the fireplace. Measure from the TOP of the opening to the 'seat' or slab that borders the front of the opening. DO NOT measure to the inside bottom because that will add about 2" inches and you will be wrong. I used 2x4's to frame the sides first and then the inside bottom of the opening. NO NEED TO FRAME THE TOP. I used 'window/door' caulking to caulk all seems inside and out and let it dry. I used cement bolts and a hammer drill to fasten the 2x4's and what I call the 'butterfly' drill bits to recess a hole for the bolt to sit below the wood surface. This permits the insert to slide in/out without hitting the bolts. It takes between 4 and 5 days to convert your fireplace and if you have to hire someone to do it, it will cost some money. I was lucky to have an outlet near my fireplace so wiring it was easy. CONSIDER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BEFORE BUYING THE INSERT. An outlet too far or too much brick to cut...

Jason KundaJason Kunda: I really have no complaints about this 26" version that I recessed into a wall. The flame pattern and flickering log set are very real especially when viewing from further away. Other reviews are correct about how well made and sturdy the firebox is. Upon unboxing I just plugged it in and turned it on. The white power cord is connected to the upper left side of the unit (if you are looking the back end) and extends about 5 feet. In my case, I cut a hole in a wall slightly larger than the size of the fire box and slipped it in. The cut out was made directly in front of an open space behind the wall which happens to be below a staircase landing. So I had plenty of room for at least 8 inches of depth for the unit.

I left about an inch and a half of space between the top of the unit and underneath the top wall cutout. Be advised the inside top of the unit gets very warm when the heat is on high so I will be keeping a close eye on heat build up inside that wall. I can always install a strip of cement board to prevent heat from going up the inside wall. For power I am fortunate this unit is installed about 12 inches above the ceiling in my basement so I ran a dedicated...
