A fireplace insert upgrades an existing masonry opening with a sealed, efficient unit, so you get more heat and less smoke up the chimney than an open hearth. The collection includes Buck Stove wood and gas inserts such as the Model 21, Model 74ZC and Model 34 series, Napoleon Oakville direct vent gas inserts and S-series wood inserts, Osburn Matrix and 3500 wood inserts, and Modern Flames Orion electric inserts. Widths run from 22 inches to about 41 inches. Check the opening dimensions and the liner needs before you pick a model.

Inserts live or die by their fit. Measure the opening at the front, back and depth, and note the hearth height and flue size. Then decide on fuel. Wood models, including Buck Stove and Osburn units, give the most heat and are often supplied with a blower. Gas models, such as Napoleon Oakville, run clean and are controlled by remote or thermostat. Electric versions skip the flue entirely. Most wood and direct vent gas units need a stainless liner and a surround or trim kit, which are often sold separately. Confirm that your chimney is in good condition before the install, and ask a certified installer to inspect the flue.
For wood and gas inserts, usually yes. A stainless liner connects the insert to the flue and keeps exhaust contained. Electric inserts do not need one.
A large wood insert can heat a significant area, but results depend on layout and insulation. Check the heated-area guidance and BTU rating on each model.
