Is that plywood meant to stay under the hearth and hearth extension? If so that is wrong it needs to be non combustible material under the hearth and extension

Good i was just making surenope, that is just stopping up the hole into my crawlspace that was created by the firemen. they will repair it to code spec's
Do you have any idea why they recommended an 8" or 10" flue insert? What kind of chimney do you have and what are its inner dimensions?

Modern looking inserts: Pacific Energy Neo 2.5, Osburn Matrix, Large Flush Hybrid Insert from Travis industries (Lopi, Avalon, FireplaceXtraordinaire)
The Regency insert is extensively discussed here: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads...-ci2600-fireplace-insert-risky-costly.132252/
thanks i like both the osburn and the LFH insert.
I recommend a forum search to check for experiences with both units. The LFH is somewhat larger with a 3 cu ft firebox and has a catalyst which means added care about the wood you are burning.
Do you have any dry wood already?
