Question
how to convert a tlc42-3 wood burning firebox to a wood burning insert?
Hello Tod, sounds like you have a Pre Fab fireplace and want to install an insert into that pre fab fireplace? unless bot the fireplace and insert are rated and designed to be used with each other you can not (you will cause a fire), check with your local building department and local wood stove store for what you can and can not do.
