FISHER: how to make it fit into a fireplace

[trx680]

I grew up with a Fisher Granpa Bear many years ago. I'd love to have one now but my fireplace isn't tall enough for one. The height of the fireplace is 26.5". I found a chart with all the Fisher stoves showing the width and length, but not the height. But I'm sure even the smallest Baby Bear is too tall. I'd need to have some of it in the fireplace, with the rest sticking out.

Anyone here ever modified the height of a Fisher to make it fit into a fireplace?

Many had legs cut down for this purpose, but a Fireplace Insert is far better for this type installation for many reasons.

Height will vary depending on model. Example; Series I, unlisted double door Fireplace Series 30 1/2 rear, 24 1/2 front.

If the fireplace is on an outside wall, you certainly don’t want a radiant stove to radiate energy rearward into the masonry which is released outside.

Get an insert which is made for a fireplace. Just make sure you instsll it properly with a full insulated liner.
