Collection: Indoor Wood Burning Fireplaces

An indoor wood burning fireplace gives you the crackle, the glow, and the heat that gas and electric can't quite match. This collection brings together the two ways to get one: a masonry fireplace built into your home, or a wood burning fireplace insert that upgrades the masonry fireplace you already have.

Masonry Fireplaces and Wood Burning Inserts

If you're building new, a FireRock masonry fireplace gives you a real stone-and-brick hearth with the look of a traditional wood burning fireplace, including see-through designs that share one fire between two rooms. If you already have an open masonry fireplace, a wood burning fireplace insert turns that drafty opening into an efficient heat source. Inserts from Drolet and Blue Ridge are designed to be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace, and many are available with a faceplate and a stainless steel liner kit.

How to Choose

• New build or existing fireplace: Choose a masonry fireplace for new construction. Choose an insert if you already have a masonry fireplace.
• Heating area: Compare the heating capacity of each model to the space you want to warm. Larger open rooms need a higher BTU rating.
• Chimney and liner: Inserts need a proper flue connection. A stainless steel liner kit is available with many inserts so the install is complete.
• Fit: Measure your firebox opening before you order an insert, and keep local building codes in mind for any wood burning installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a wood burning fireplace and a wood burning insert?

A wood burning fireplace is built as the fireplace itself, usually masonry. An insert is a sealed, efficient firebox that slides into an existing masonry fireplace to improve heat output.

Can I install a wood burning insert in any fireplace?

No. Wood burning inserts must only be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace, never in a wooden or combustible fireplace.

Do I need a chimney liner for a wood burning insert?

Most insert installations use a stainless steel liner to connect the insert to the chimney. Many of our inserts are offered in kits that include a 25' or 35' liner.

Does an indoor wood burning fireplace heat a whole room?

Yes, especially inserts, which are built to push heat into the room. Check each model's stated heating area to match it to your space.
