We are considering a princess PE 29 insert for our downstairs fireplace, the mantle is 21 inches deep and 44 inches from the bottom of the mantle to the hearth. My question is how do I insulate the mantle from the insert because maximum depth is listed as 12 inches by blaze King?
 
That's a deep mantel and a good question for their support staff. They may accept a heat shield on standoffs, hung on the underside of the mantel.
