Very shallow fireplace

[AJCinBrooklyn]

Hi there - New to the forum. I tried searching for info but couldn't find any. I have an extremely shallow fireplace, about 12". I am hoping to find a pellet insert to fit but have had little luck. Any suggestions?

You’re probably going to have to build the face of the fireplace. That’s not enough room to connect the liner T

Depending on what unit you are putting in, and what your fireplace is made of, you can possibly fit the fireplace to get more room. What kind of fireplace is it? Post a couple pictures.

The connector T is going to need a minimum of 6 inches behind the stove.

maybe a freestanding cast stove on the hearth?

What inserts are you using a connector T on?

i had the same problem, i ended up buying a nice freestanding pellet stove and positioned it in front of the fireplace opening on a new stone hearthy so it looks real nice. I used the chimney to vent it still

Any insert we install has a stove adapter T with a clean out on the bottom.

That’s odd. Do your guys not pull the combustion blower when servicing. What kind of inserts are you installing?

Of coarse we do. The T is so the customer can remove the fly ash during the season. Do you know a better way to install a 4 inch liner to the back of the insert? We sell Enviro.
