My home currently has a really cheap fireplace insert. It doesnt work very well and common sense tells me its dangerous and I do not use it. I have included some pictures of this, what I want to do is take out the insert and construct a “firebox”? To place a wood burning inser into and hook up toe the triple wall 8” flu that is currently there. I like the look of the insert a lot and dont mind having to construct something to install properly. The hearth is 2 feet wide and and the room is 25 x 16. I would prefer an insert and dont mind doing a little masonary work. If any one can give me some solid advice I would really appreciate it. Hopefully you understand what I mean.
thanks
