Hello,

Is anyone familiar with the insert in my picture and do you know if I can safely burn wood in it. My contractor sourced this and said it is fine to burn wood in. Since the photo we’ve installed tile in front of the fireplace and finished the surround. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What is the make and model. As shown, with no hearth (and no doors?) is it not safe to burn. There's no hearth protection. We don't know how it was installed and whether the hearth installation meets the manual's requirements from this picture.
