Fireplace insert? - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I have only seen one of these, and it doesn't have a brand, but would anyone have an idea of who makes a fireplace that has a bottom ash grate and cleanout from outside? The one I saw has a cast door outside in the base of the fireplace, and can be cleaned without having to shovel ashes inside the home. Ideas guys?

Check with the fireplace shops. I assume you're looking at a retrofit. Obviously they are to be avoided except for retrofits because you're building a fireplace and then putting a stove inside it.

Heatilator (heat it later) may have one.

All this stuff really skyrocketed in cost. You may expect to pay over $1500 for a decent unit.
