Style consideration
Notes:
- There are lots of choices when it comes to styles of fireplaces that are available. Even taking the basic models into consideration, you can change the aesthetic appeal in your home by how you want it set.
- For example, a modern fireplace surround can impart the look of elegance. However, a more traditional fireplace could include the addition of a mantel and surround to dress up the existing fireplace box.
- Stone is another classic look when it comes to encasing your fireplace choice.

Fuel sources
Notes:
- In addition to stylistic options, there’s also your fuel source to consider. Many new fireplace additions use gas as the combustion source. This is because of the ease of installation into your existing home.
- In more rural areas, wood burning stoves may be more common.
- A wood burning stove comes with more drawbacks in that you need to have a chimney that goes up and out through the roof of your house. A gas based system can be outfitted to fit the fuel source that’s available in your region.

Venting guidelines
Notes:
- When it comes to venting a gas fireplace, you have a few options. There’s the more traditional liner up an existing chimney when you’re retrofitting.
- Another good option is to install a direct vent fireplace insert. This allows you to have the greatest flexibility in placement and available lines of style.
- The only thing that you’ll need to worry about with a direct vent is that it isn’t too near any of your windows so that the exhaust doesn’t reenter your home.

Determine usage needs
Notes:
- How much you plan on using your fireplace and whether it’s your primary source of heat or just supplemental will make a difference in the features that you’ll want.
- A larger insert is more appropriate when you’re trying to heat a large space. Another thing to consider is the use of a fan in order to aid the circulation of the heat.
- For a decorative fireplace, you can get away with a smaller insert that won’t require a fan.

I have 1 Fireplace in my home and I can tell you from experience that a Fireplace is far better than any other stoves. Dependable easy to work and easy to get parts for. My stove is 10 years old and I’ve rebuilt it 1 time. It is giving me a lot of benefits. The efforts you have put in to create the posts are quite interesting. I am very happy to get this kind of thing.
Nice install. I have a wood stove insert as well and I am looking for a proper how-to on sweeping the chimney. How would I properly remove the swept soot from sweeping above the firebox? Do I need to remove my insert? I have an extremely tight workspace to access the vent pipe connection.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
