wood burning fire place inserts are expensive. using fire board and a wood burning stove cant i make one?

i would line the brick in the fireplace with fireboard. place a wood burning stove in the fire place,with the exaust tube running up into the chimmney. use fire board to block off the
heat from escaping up the chimmney. would this work and be safe?

I agree with William, and just have 2 cents to add.

It’s pretty obvious to me that a Fireplace is not the most efficient method of heating, and pushing a wood burning stove into a fireplace opening should be fine if the construction was meant for actual wood fires in the first place.

Part of what might be an issue is any RADIANT heat you might have diminished without the “stove” having 360 degree radiant access. Certainly some of the heat goes up the chimney, through the stove vent pipe.

Good luck; check your homeowners insurance policy for being current,,,Smile…Teasing. Enjoy…

ADD ON: Sigh. I guess I’ll stop agreeing and giving thumbs up. I’ll enjoy my wood stoves as they are. I still wish you luck
