Custom Made Vented Gas Log Inserts?
I want to add a gas insert to my existing wood burning fireplace. I
don't really need it for heat, so I could just add gas logs and call it quits, but I just can't stand the idea of losing 90-100% of the heat up the chimney - whether I need it or not. The problem is that I can't find anything in the exact dimensions that I want. I have a large stone fireplace. The stone for about 2 inches around the sides and 4 inches across the top have been ruined, so I want to cover pretty much exactly those areas with the face. Problem is, I can't find any inserts that both fit into my fireplace and cover exactly what I want on the outside. I've found supposed "custom" inserts, but they're not really custom sized, just made to look how you want them using a standard size. Anyone here ever have a custom made gas insert of have any suggestions? Thanks - Dave |

Custom Made Vented Gas Log Inserts?
It's not so much the insert you want customized, it's the stuff around the
insert, covering the stone, you want customized. Plus, that would be a whole lot less expensive than having an insert custom fabricated. I've heard Regency is a very good insert manufacturer, you can start there. And, btw, did not realize this until I went shopping not that long ago, gas burning inserts are sealed, just like a wood burning one, and can be quite efficient. "Dave" wrote in message ...
