Installation of wood fireplace insert without panels: does our insert protrude enough?

[Grisu]

Am I correct in assuming the issue with the initial install was the lintel depth? What is the depth of your lintel? After being convinced this was the stove for me to buy I noticed in the specifications that 2.5" is the maximum lintel depth that will allow the protruded installation, which I was hoping for (my lintel is 4"). I am now trying to figure if I can make this work, should switch to the flush installation, or switch to a different stove. How have you liked the Olympic since having it installed and during our freezing winter in the NE last year?
