Can I replace my fireplace insert with a wood burning insert after a little construction?

[PHARO]

My home currently has a really cheap fireplace insert. It doesnt work very well and common sense tells me its dangerous. I have included some pictures of this, what I want to do is take out the insert and construct a "firebox"? To place a wood burning inser into and hook up toe the triple wall 8" flu that is currently there. I like the look of the insert a lot and dont mind having to construct something to install properly. If any one can give me some solid advice I would really appreciate it. Hopefully you understand what I mean.

thank

Welcome PHARO. If you go to the perfect picture forum. Look at the top of the page labeled announcement's. It tells you how to prepare pics for the net. Good luck.
