We have a fireplace we have never used. We need to get it thoroughly inspected. Can a wood burning stove be put into a fireplace?

Yes. There are many makes and sizes. Most will still require a 6" flue pipe inserted in the chimney. You can review one of the styles by clicking on the picture or google wood stove fireplace insert.



The stoves run anywhere from $800 to thousands. Fireplaces are very inefficient. The stove insert will heat your home and is an economical option.

No. Get a separate one. Worth its weight in gold. I am in dark but it gives ne warmth, warm water, and a stove top. It heats the entire house very cheaply. Take drive to NW Jersey. Firewood really cheap.
