Removed the Quadrafire insert since the blower was too loud for my wife.
I've got a used Vermont Castings Resolute Aclaim my wife wants me to install in the (partially) inside the fireplace. I can run a 45 degree elbow and pipe into the flue and seal it off with a register plate.
We want to push it back into the fireplace to reduce the front clearance requirements and install a heat plate on the mantle above. Our house is only 5 years old so the chimney is in great shape.
Can this be done? Is this a safe solution? I am worried about all the heat being generated with part of the stove being inside the fireplace.
Advice? Thanks!
