Existing double sided fireplace - use Invicta Aaron double sided woodstove?

[stephiegirl]

My husband and I bought a 70's house with a double sided brick fireplace. We had the chimney rebuilt and have been dragging out feet on what to do as we have found there are not many solutions for these types of fireplaces and they suck heated air out of the house up the chimney. I keep looking for some sort of double sided wood stove solution. During the pandemic I only found options for overseas market, but this past year I found the Invicta Aaron double sided wood stove. It is basically a box that can be placed on a stand or can be freestanding. I realize that putting a wood stove inside a fireplace is not ideal - but, it is better than having raging fires that suck the heat out of our house and we would still have the look through feel vs putting an insert in one side and closing off the other side. I was also wondering if having the space around the stove might help the heat move a bit? I am getting really bummed about this.

Our existing see through is 46" wide, 31" high and 35" deep. I attached a photo of what we have.

The invicta aaron is 36" wide, 25" tall and 19" deep. This is what I am looking at: https://smokeymountainfireplaces.co...g-stove-fireplace?_pos=3&_sid=d0af190be&_ss=r

Any thoughts?

Thank you !!

Interesting option. This is a French fireplace that is usually freestanding. Make sure there are no caveats for installing in a fireplace. I didn't find any in the manual, but it's good to check with the dealer. It takes a 7" liner, so verify that the current tile liner of the fireplace is large enough to accomodate this.
