A nice lady there told me that they sell grills for Felix- bottom grill 17cm by 37cm and top grill 17cm by 49cm .
She said that once installed , cold air is drawn through the bottom and hot air exits through top one.
They apparently have few colors and finishes. I also asked about a fan , but she said the only thing they install is a system of ducts from the insert to a couple of closest rooms , however that cost a lot more.
Wow! Thanks for the info. Funny, never thought of just calling them up.
I'm going to see about acquiring these grills, I have a friend getting to EU-zone shortly. But I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is that these grills do differently than any other grill. Does this attach to the stove somehow, or is it just grills that can be used? They look nice but I can surely get something made to order here too. Am I missing something?
Right now the insert is flush against the fireplace's firebricks on the bottom so to have the inward I'd have to raise the insert, and more than just a bit. I guess it might be preferable to have the inward vent below but not sure the advantage would be so big as to bother (compared to having vents on the side with or without a fan).
I'll try the simple approach first, and see what that gives.
