can you insert it in an existing fireplace?

No, the vent for the heat/air is on top of the unit. It blows air up - plus it wouldn't look too good

Anything is possible .... but I wouldn't try it myself. It is designed to mount on a wall, which you would have to provide in the opening of your fireplace. There are better options out there, which I have used, that sit inside your opening like gas logs would sit. You just set them in place and plug them in and operate them with a remote. You can even add glass screens in front of them to give a real decorative look.

you could but it has to be plugged in. so the cord would have to be plugged in. you would see the cord coming out of fireplace or you would have to install an outlet in the fireplace

Would not function properly as heat would go up chimney and not into room as heat vent is at top of unit

You could but I would just use regular mortar since you don't need high-heat ability of refractory for the chimney(the flue takes all that heat). Also, it's gray in color.

Yes, absolutely. It goes 42 inches across the fireplace and 32 inches high. It is like a thick blanket and hash total flexibility to adjust to your fireplace opening.

I'm not really sure to be honest with you. Our fireplace insert was built into out entertainment center so we have an electrical outlet to plug it into. As long as it is the right measurement as your fireplace I don't think it would be a problem the only concern would be the plug in.

I don't see why not nor would I hesitate to use it on a hearth. We love it!

I would not advise using in a regular fireplace for two reasons; the smoke will tarnish the glass and the burnt embers would mix with the glass.

so it can be use indoor fireplace and would we need something like plate to burn on? what do I need to use inside my home

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

I've never tried but I'm sure it'll work perfect... Once lit, it keeps going for 10+ min and I'll definitely be using it this winter in the fireplace.

Only if you have a fireplace to put it in so the smoke will go up the chimney...I tried for myself and tbis wae the only way to use inside the house as its so much bigger than picture shows.

It can; I have done so on several occasions. It's a bit tall for most fireplaces, though; I had to cut mine down by several inches.

Yes, but actual dimensions are closer to 10" depthx38" widex39"height. The top is wider than the bottom because of the mantle. Love this fireplace!

No, it come with 6ft gas hose, can add hose to move farther. No room to place under the fireplace.

It can be placed anywhere, the surface is not hot. the heat comes out the bottom and is distributed by a fan at the bottom. Just don't put anything beneath. You cannot see the wall, just the fake flames.

I believe you can. The only problem, I thought the logs and flames looked bad. I have 2 of the other Franklin looking stoves with much better looking logs, flames, and color. I love the look of the frame, but I am real big on the fire looking as realistic as possible too.

Yes and No. For deco purpose, You can insert into anything that fit but only if you DON'T use the heat.The answer to your question is NO if you intend to use it as a heat source it will burn the wood case unless you put a vent, also the wood case will cover the side amber lights.I inserted this unit into my existing brick fireplace for deco only and not using the heat. For less than $150 bucks, it served my purpose, so i like it.

If you have an enormous fireplace...otherwise there us no physical limitation preventing its use except the quality of the chain used to hold the pot....
