Your Majestic has a thermosiphen triple wall chimney UL listed to UL103 to
1,700 degrees. A wood stove requires UL103HT which goes to 2,100 degrees.
You should not install an insert inside the Majestic unless it has been
tested and approved for use in prefab fireplaces.

I currently have a good (Majestic) zero clearance fireplace with a fan
around the box that we use to heat our entire (2200sf) 2 story house. The
problem is that we go through a lot of firewood (approx 5 cords) each
year.
I am interested in installing a wood burning insert. Some say that I
would
need to replace the existing flue, which is approximately 25 ft long, with
one that is a narrower diameter in order to get the correct draw. Other
say
that it's not necessary. I am interested in hearing about the experiences
from those that have installed wood burning stove inserts.
Thanks,
M.Paul
