That looks really nice! Is it OK to have so much wood trim etc. near that insert?

It's not an insert. It's a zero clearance fireplace, so it's fine.

Great thanx for clarifying that.. How do you like the heat output so far?

Yes. I have a 1900 sq. ft. Colonial style home w/ the typical stairs in the middle. The fireplace is in the middle of the 1st floor and it heat my entire home wonderfully. I have duct work and a fan connected to the fireplace and ran down to the basement. I'm trying to see if I can keep my daughter's bedroom warm. So far it has not been working well, but I'm far from giving up.

Yeah my basement is like a refrigerator because my stove is in the living room.. Moving warm air to the cellar is easier said than done unless you have a stove down cellar too.. This is not an option for me and it's not that important as we don't live down there..

I have the same stove - but opted not to use the duct knock outs. Mine heats well.

Nice install - enjoy.
