Figured I'd ask the masses about the inserts, just looking for information and opinions, brands and styles, any links that you may know of for more information would be helpful. Thanks

i like the kingsman line there made in america and use easily attained replacement parts.The ones daksy mentioned would serve you well also.Were you thinking Vent free or direct vent?
Live on Long Island, have a nice fireplace store around the corner, just wanted to get some knowledge before the guy tries to sell me something i dont need. Thanks for the info.
Thinking direct vent. I currently have a fireplace and would think i could just get the insert inside that and have it vented out the chimney.
