The size you choose should be based on the opening of your existing fireplace. Choose the 29" x 44" Faceplate size if the opening of your fireplace is less than 29" x 44". If your fireplace opening is greater than 29" x 44", you will want to select the 34" x 50" Faceplate size.

    Optional Accessories:

    Rigid Firescreen

    The Rigid Fire Screen allows you to burn wood in the fireplace insert with the door open just like an old-time fireplace. Hear the crackle of the wood, watch the flames dance around in the firebox and relax around the wood insert on a cold winter's night. The Rigid Fire Screen is easy to install and easy to remove when you are ready to load more wood. The fireplace insert should not be burning with the door open without the firescreen.

    Rock-Flex 316Ti stainless steel chimney liner kits are UL listed and the perfect choice to install for your new wood burning insert. Each kit includes the 316Ti Flexible Chimney Liner, Vertical Appliance Connector, 13 x 13 in. Premium Top Plate, and Round Rain Cap.
