I will be purchasing a used (almost new) wood-burning, "fireplace Insert", and will need installation services.

Can someone recommned a good 'mason', who is familair with this type of installation.

Flue damper will have to be removed, and a adapter flue extension installed to top of wood insert. I am told that this is a custom fit for the wood insert being installed, and that every 'insert' is different ? You would think this would be a universal fit for the most common fireplace dimensions?

If anyone has had a fireplace insert installed, I'd like to hear about your experiences.

Thanks,
Bigdog
