Inset log burners: 5 great stoves that fit in your fireplace

Please note: This is an old blog post and many of the stoves featured have since been discontinued. See our current range of inset stoves.


For homeowners who want to install a wood-burning stove, have an existing fireplace and want minimal structural changes to their property, inset log burners are a great option.

An inset log burner is designed to simply slot into a standard sized fireplace opening for an open fire.

This type of appliance allows you to install a log burner without the need to open up the fireplace, as you would in order to accommodate a free-standing appliance.

There are some outstanding inset log burners on the market. Here are a handful of the ones we recommend…
