Question
i have a martin wood fireplace that i want to install a pellet stove insert into. i have 8" of marble around the opening of the fireplace. how can i support the pellet stove?


Answer
Hello Lucy, are both fireplace and insert rated to be used together? check with both manufacturer's and ask before installing, They might have a way for you to do what you want.
If they both do not say it is ok then do not install that insert into your fireplace.
