Here is my issue... I am looking for a good quality fireplace insert (wood) for my home. My problem is that my mantel is pretty low and I have a perpendicular wall that is close to the fireplace. My fireplace is pretty good size so I want to get the biggest one I can yet stay within what the building inspector will adhere to; which is what the insert manufacture info states.
Most of what I looked at says the wall is too close and also the mantel is too close. I liked the quadrafire Voyager but I am 3/4 of an inch too close to the wall and the mantel is still too low.
I will probably have to sell the mantel deflector to the building inspector so I would like to find one that can be installed for the winter and yet uninstalled for the summer when not in use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
