Propane Fireplace Insert (1 Viewer)

[Otter]

Is there a Hank Hill in the club?

I was inspired after visiting a friend's house. I'm thinking about adding a propane fireplace insert to our existing fireplace. We don't have natural gas hookup on our property, and we don't want to deal with a wood fire.

Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not familiar with the fireplaces but, do not place below grade level as this would violate Building Code (IBC and IRC) requirements. The propane is heavier than air and will "puddle" in rooms without sufficient ventilation present. Makes me worry about homes with a basement even if the unit is not in the basement. NG is lighter than air and easier to diffuse with ventilation as a result.

I appreciate the advice. We're on a slab and have plenty of makeup air for ventilation. I'd looking for a model with the CO detector and low oxygen shutoff feature.
