Hi
I am going to have a wood burning insert installed in an existing outside wall fireplace. We have 2 fireplaces, one at ground level, the other in the basement family room below. We recently replaced our windows and wrapped/re-sided the house which resulted in a smoky draft in the other chimney, not to mention the downdraft in the furnace flue. Our plan is to install a direct vent gas insert in the basement family room and a flush wood burning insert with an OAK in the ground floor living room. We plan on using the wood burner for ambiance as much as heat and might want to open the doors now and then to hear the crackle or roast a marshmallow or two... We wondering if there are any 2 door wood inserts, flush mounting, that open from the center available. I've looked a bit and haven't seen any.
Your thoughts??
Jeff
