Still trying to find an insert that will fit my prefab fireplace. The Breckwell P2000i seems like it will fit but the real question is whether I can connect the 4" line to the stove due to clearance issues. Does anyone have a picture of the rear of their insert so I can see what it looks like? I would run the exhaust port in the vertical position. I have 16 3/4" of depth in my fireplace and the stove is 16 3/8" (willing to pull it out up to 1 1/2" to allow more room if needed). The roof of my fireplace is 22 1/2" and the stove is 19 1/2". The specs are not clear but I'm hoping the 16 3/8" depth of the stove includes the vertical exhaust port on the back. This way I can run the 4" line through the down through the damper (which is in the center rear of the fireplace) and connect it directly to the vertical exhaust port.

Thanks in advance.
 
You might want to see if you can find the installation manuals for the inserts on line. Here is the link for the quadra-fire castille insert. Take a look at page ten. It might give you a few more options. (broken link removed to http://www.quadrafire.com/downloads/installManuals/man_castileInsert.pdf)

The Breckwell P-24I is a vertical exhaust.

I have the installers from the dealer coming next Tuesday to determine if there is enough room to fit the p2000i. Also considering the p23i. Hoping for good news!!

Here's link to P2000I manual.

I've reviewed the manuals for the 2000 and 23 but they don't give a schematic or list dimensions of the rear components (I'm particularly concerned with the placement of the hopper or any other piece that may restrict the vent pipe from turning from the center of the stove to the right in order to be connected due to the limited clearance). I have a good feeling the 23 will work and maybe the 2000 but will wait to talk with the installers on Tuesday.

Thanks for the help.
