Hello all !! I just picked up a new NC 30 last month. I'm replacing my Napoleon 1402 insert which served me well for 4 years. I'm going to put the 30 inside the firebox. I measured the dimensions of the stove and the fireplace, and in theory, the stove should fit. What I neglected to measure was the size of the blower of the back of the 30 ! I need an additional 5 inches of space to fit the stove and blower into the fireplace. I'm thinking I may have to run another course of brick on the hearth to make up for the extra room that I need for the stove. Does anyone know if there is possibly a more compact blower that I can fit on the back of the 30?? I'm going to give Englander a call on Monday and speak with them. Figured I would check in here first. Thanks in advance.....
