Time to get a decent woodpile.
Suggestions for the blank space directly above the insert? The wife wants a mantel, which will have to be about 29" above the insert.
Just as a note, the mantel only has to be that high if it's made from wood or other combustible material.... If you make it from stone it can be any height you like as long as it doesn't interfere with the stove operation. I would think a mantle made from a slab of granite or bluestone might look really nice against those bricks (hard to tell from the picture what might work best, but I'm sure there'd be a nice matching stone...)
