This is my first posting, but this website is an amazing resource!
We are planning to put in a wood insert into our existing fireplace.
So far, based on the contemporary, flush appearance and the good reviews on this site, the front-runner option is the Regency Ci2700.
We like the appearance of this insert, but our fireplace is 33" wide by 30" high, nearly square.
The width of the Regency is nearly perfect, but the height would not nearly fill our space. In fact, from my research, it appears that most inserts are designed for a wide, rather than high fireplace (landscape orientation if you will).

Can anyone recommend an insert that would better fit our nearly square opening? I tried to do a search on this website, but could not find this question.

Thanks!
