First post (giggles)
Been googling for days now.
I have prefabricated fireplace of decent size that I can fit number of models into - Colonial CR004, Avalon Rainier, Osburn 1800 and even Osburn 2200 (almost). Figured most of the stuff right now. It will be 6 inch liner with insulation as it is outside wall.
The problem is that fireplace is raised above the floor about 7 inch so there will be no support for front few inches of the insert. Avalon offers front telescopic legs but I still like Osburn 2200 more for looks and size. I am sure it will be able to sit on it's own without additional support. Would be a good option as minimum changes are required to otherwise nice black marble surrounding. Question is if anyone done anything like that? What are the other options besides raising hearth? Any pictures?
