Does anyone have any experience of fitting an insert stove into their open fire place? Basically it sits into the fireplace and you can burn coal, briquettes, wood as you would with an open fire, however the insert is sealed around the fireplace. Internally its quite small and therefore you burn less fuel but its supposed to provide better heat.
The stove I had in mind is the 5kw insert stove and are supplied by Green Stoves, Naas Rd, Dublin

Would this be a good solution to improving the heating in this room or would installing a free standing stove be more beneficial?
