Wood-Burning Inserts

A wood insert slides into an existing masonry fireplace and connects to a stainless steel liner, replacing the heat losses of an open hearth with a closed, controlled firebox.

Fireplace opening dimensions, the condition of the chimney and access to seasoned firewood are the practical factors that decide whether an insert is the right route.

What to consider

Measure the fireplace opening

Each insert publishes a minimum opening in the manufacturer's manual. If the existing masonry opening is smaller, that model will not fit.

Plan for a full-height liner

Wood inserts are installed with a continuous stainless steel liner running the full height of the chimney. Liner work is part of the project, not an optional extra.

Check emissions rules locally

Some jurisdictions set stricter particulate limits than the federal standard. Published emissions figures matter if you are in one of them.

Thinking about installation?

Brown Chimney can assess what a fireplace would need in your home — the opening, the chimney or venting route, and what work is involved. Service availability depends on your location.

Frequently asked questions

Only if the masonry opening meets the minimum height, width and depth published in the appliance manual. Measure the opening before shortlisting models.
