A fireplace insert is a type of smaller stove inserted into an existing fireplace as a method of converting a fireplace from one fuel source to another. A wood stove insert would be used to allow a masonry fireplace to be much more efficient in its heating. However, an insert must be installed correctly to prevent risk of fire and toxic smoke.
