Box easy to frame in. Stuffed a 34,000 btu log set in. Not alot of play for connection, could've had more if used proper log set. Did not come with clear instructions for mounting fan location but could figure out after eye balling for a little bit. Costs are same with Amazon and Northern Tool, although shipping was half the cost with Amazon. This item regardless is shipped from Procom. After installed, I cranked it up and got it operating, checking for temperatures surrounding insert. Frame was cool, floor tile not effected. heat was rising although not effecting above and backwards area where future electronics will be placed. It's working out as planned although not enough room inside for planned gas shutoff valve. That had to be placed outside of insert. I got a good deal on refurbished log set at 34,000 btu and wanted to take advantage of that, dimensions fit although cramped inside insert. I don't see problems at all and can see that insert doing it's job for a long time. Hopefully log set lasts awhile. For an insert and prices on inserts would highly recommend this one.

We used an LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor of our last home. We are just finishing up remodeling a home we purchased out of foreclosure and decided immediately that we would us a large LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor in this home as well. We will be moving in soon and this unit has already proven to be well worth the price. If you are in the market for a gas or LP vent free fireplace, and are handy in any way, shape or form I suggest doing what I did. I bought this firebox, chose a vent free gas log set that would be compatible and built my own mantle out of solid maple. I assembled and installed the unit myself. By doing this I saved HUNDREDS of dollars over "packaged" vent free fireplaces I have seen on the market, AND I got a better fireplace.
This unit is solid, well-made and offers several different ways to attach the mantle. It also has a huge access door in the louvered area at the bottom for installation of the blower if you should be so inclined. Great product at a great price. Definitely recommend.

Fire box seemed somewhat cheap made but served the purpose. I couldn't find one locally so I had to order it online. First one was damaged badly during shipping but company sent a new one out. It took about 2 weeks to swap out the damaged one but they did make it good.
