First time poster here so please be gentle!! I am looking at installing a fireplace in my house or else why would I be here lol. I'm sure I will have tons of questions before i make up my mind. For the moment I am looking at either a tempcast mason fireplace or a high efficiency one. I really love the performance of the tempcast but cost will probably keep me away. Another thing I like about the tempcast is the square type window door

My first question is, is there a high efficiency fireplace that has a 1 door squarer type such as the tempcast?

thank you
 
It might come down to "looks" or heat, given a tight budget. At the end I think it may be a case of bite the bullet and go for a masonry heater or go freestanding and install a nice hearth.

so what your saying is that there isnt a fireplace that has a 1 door similar to thempcast?
 
Not similar and cheaper that I know of. I think of a masonry stove as a long term investment, like a well.
 
There are several zero-clearance fireplaces if that would work for you. For square doors maybe Kozy Heat? They make both ZC and masonry models.

At 3.6 cu.ft., it's a pretty serious heater, and it can be tied into your forced air heating system.
It's probably the closest thing you are going to find to what you are looking for...:)
