Overview
An existing fireplace opening gets a steel plate wood insert with a firebrick-lined firebox from Ashley Hearth. A non-catalytic secondary combustion system burns off smoke, and an integrated blower moves warm air into the room.
Turning a drafty masonry fireplace into a real heat source is the reason to look at it, and the blower pushes warmth outward. The limitation is the fit: it is an insert, so the opening has to suit the stated size, and the listing leaves out venting hardware.
Who it's for
Homeowners with a usable fireplace who want better heating performance from the same opening and are willing to burn wood. The blower helps move heat into the living space. Anyone without a fireplace should look at a freestanding stove instead.
Pros and cons
- EPA compliant secondary combustion
- Integrated blower moves warm air
- Reinforced plate steel build
- Lifetime firebox warranty
- Needs an existing fireplace
- Freight shipping required
- Venting kit details not listed
- Heavy to install
Performance notes
Logs burn inside the lined firebox, and a second stage of combustion reburns the smoke before it leaves. The blower pulls room air across the hot body and returns it warm, which spreads heat faster than radiant output alone.
