I want to add a gas insert to my existing wood burning fireplace. I don't really need it for heat, so I could just add gas logs and call it quits, but I just can't stand the idea of losing 90-100% of the heat up the chimney - whether I need it or not. The problem is that I can't find anything in the exact dimensions that I want. I have a large stone fireplace. The stone for about 2 inches around the sides and 4 inches across the top have been ruined, so I want to cover pretty much exactly those areas with the face. Problem is, I can't find any inserts that both fit into my fireplace and cover exactly what I want on the outside. I've found supposed "custom" inserts, but they're not really custom sized, just made to look how you want them using a standard size. Anyone here ever have a custom made gas insert of have any suggestions?
Thanks - Dave
