Need some help: I'm considering using one of these stoves at a masonry fireplace that currently holds a woodburning insert. (I've had some issues with the insert and the blower and I'm considering going with a freestanding and larger unit that I could still place halfway or more into the actual fireplace and protrude out onto the raised hearth.) I've got the dimensions of these two units off the manufacturers' sites but what I need to know is this: how tall these units are without the pedestals attached and in addition to that does anything protrude below the box that must be accounted for in this dimension.
Yes, I need to know if I can fit these into my fireplace opening with no pedestal or legs attached, to use as basically an insert. The Drolet's site seems to suggest that it's about 24" tall even without the pedestal and the Englander I'm told is about 21" without the pedestal but that the back of the slide damper sticks down a bit. I need to know this critical information as my fireplace opening is right at 24" high. My plan is to install short bolts for feet if needed for leveling issues as well as needed height for anything that protrudes below the main box of the stove.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
