An insert can significantly improve an old fireplace's efficiency. Many older fireplaces lose a lot of heat up the chimney. An insert seals this loss. It also adds safety features. This is a smart upgrade for many homes in Raleigh and beyond.
This rule is for clearances around wood stoves. It typically means a 3-inch clearance to a combustible surface behind and to the sides. It's 2 inches to the front. And 10 inches above the stove. Always check your specific model's manual for exact measurements.
