I attached the picture of the approx fireplace, we bought a Lopi Freedom but I would like to mount extended.
There is 22" between the insert and the wood mantel. The directions say we need 32" between the mantel and the insert, so another 10". If we put a row of brick (laying flat but sticking straight out) under the wood mantel would that work or would it still be too hot? The wood wouldn't stick out past the edge of the brick. I don't want to use a mantel shield.
Thanks,
Scott
PS I can't seem to find an email for Lopi to email them directly to ask...
