    Hello. New member. 25YO Whitfield Quest FSWP4. I’m getting a smell from my stove. It smells like the smell from the ash pit not from the exhaust fumes.

    Whitfield Quest WP4

    Does anyone know if the Whitfield Quest WP4 freestanding model can be converted to an Insert? I was told we may be able to take the stand off and buy a generic fireplace insert surround, but thought I'd check to see if anyone knows. Thanks
