Looking for the right fit.

Hello, new to the forum here.
I have recently removed our old fireplace and chimney and am looking to replace it with a wood burning high efficiency fireplace. Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Finding something that will slip in without some alteration is not easy. The low 24" makes it a challenge. It may take opening up the height to 36" or so. What is the construction behind where the eagle is? Metal studs?

Thanks for the response. Drywall and wood studs.

Does anyone think that the rsf pearl would work in this application?

The Pearl is also too tall, it needs a 40" high framed opening. The firebox in a wood ZC fireplace is going to be elevated over the hearth in order to keep the base cool enough to be able to be in contact with a combustible floor. Maybe there is a gas fireplace that will have a lower requirement?

Thanks. By the looks of things, I am going to have to remove some brick if I want to burn wood.

I was able to fit a Regency H2100 into the vacancy left behind when they removed the Majestic Zero Clearance unit. I only had just a hare over 20.0 inches to work on the top measurement. FWIW - I'm providing the internal measurements of my opening and can tell you that there is some option that will work.

Changing this area to a freestanding stove may be an option with careful planning. It may take extending the hearth or removing enough framing and brick to meet the clearances for an alcove installation.
