My house has a built in open fireplace. The previous owner burn wood directly in the fieplace with just metal mesh screen to cover the fire. Now, I just put a fireplace insert wood stove in there. I jsut wonder if I have to change or modify anything.

      For cracks or missing mortar you should still have the existing liner inspected for cracks or missing mortar you are burning pellets you need to have that done every few years anyway.

      An open fireplace why take chance the insert including the new once called triple wall liner has been improved upon and going up the future.
