Maybe I'm missing something here . . . but is there a question? Are you asking if you can put a woodstove or woodstove insert into your fireplace or asking for recommendations on a particular type of stove to put into this opening?

Edit: Never mind . . . I've been reading the posts back to front and just ran across the other post so now this all makes sense . . . I tell ya my mind is a terrible thing to waste. :) ;) Good luck with the stove -- a stove or insert would most likely make you much, much happier in terms of warmth compared to just using a fireplace.
 
I assume N. Shore is N. Shore MA- like Danvers or something. Take those dimensions to a good stove shoppe with reasonable brands and they can help you out. I would point you to the Stove Shoppe in Windham, NH- a little drive for you but they have a lot of stoves on the floor and they're in beautiful tax free NH- where you have the chance to run into me, and aint that what everyone wants- really?
 
That floor is beautiful, too nice to extend a hearth into (IMHO) - check hearth requirements, as the last post said. Some stoves will let you get away with very little, some demand a lot.
