Chain saws

If you can, find you a thin slice of mica, a mineral, and cut it to fit your windows with a metabo with a diamond blade. ( It's quite easy really, that sounded waaaaay more difficult than it is)

My fireplace is too small in the rear to fit any inserts. I meet the other measurements, but the rear is 2" too small. He said they stopped making my brand so I am pretty much out of luck.

Not expecting any new ones either. Plus, I have oak all around and they say you must have 41" clearance from all wood. Looks like I'm going to be straight fireplace and pray we doing have another ice age. If it comes to that, I'll just cut a hole in the wall and run a pipe to accommodate a plain stove. It will look like crap, but if we are freezing, who cares.

If you can figure out the wood clearance, soap stone, brick. I know of several people that went with a small hearthstove because of too small a firebox.

I took the glass doors out of my fireplace and stored someplace in my disaster of a garage. Called about getting new ones installed and the charge is $1700. I find that totally ridiculous.

That's 1700 good incentives to find them in the garage.
