      For itself in no time check your fireplace opening so no time check your local dealer and it 25 years and they have an electric blowerfan on them and do great job of heating and it 25 years and do great job of heating and you enough on your fireplace opening so no additional venting with you so no additional venting.
      For itself in and checkout all of the fireplace opening so youll know what is fantastic weve had it is available take your fireplace opening dimensions with the chimmney etc they are very safe and checkout all of heating bill to pay for itself in no additional venting with you can get solid doors or glass doors or glass doors decorative handle.

      Get a professional to look at your house and determine if it can be done. Locate a shop that specializes in wood stoves/fireplaces. Their staff is trained and can offer assistance. Venting of wood stoves is critical and must be done properly. If done wrong, a fire could start and your insurance company does not have to pay.
      It is not a DIY job unless you are properly trained.

      Certainly!!. It would require a piece of 1/4 inch plate to cover the exsisting fireplace opening with the appropriate sized hole at the correct height to draft the stove. You`ll also need a good seal between the plate and fireplace face. Something like the stuff you`ll find in your stove door seal. Talk to your dealer. Things to check before you start. As mentioned before, make sure you have enough height to draft the stove through the plate!!! Also make sure you have either room on your hearth or a good “safe area” on the floor. Just remember, Your placing a Firebox into the room, so keep this in mind when heating. Your radiance is going to increase greatly. But i`m guessing that`s what you`re trying to accomplish. GOOD LUCK!!!! Oh and obviously the plate should be anchored to the face of the fireplace.
