Overview
Everything needed to turn a masonry fireplace into an efficient heat source in one order: the Century Heating CW2900 wood insert, its 34" x 50" faceplate and a 35 ft stainless chimney liner kit. The CW2900 heats 500 to 2,100 sq ft with up to 75,000 BTU/h and comes with a 144 CFM blower. The full-length liner runs from the insert to the top of the chimney, which keeps the insert removable for sweeping and service. Measure from the insert's flue outlet to the top of your chimney before ordering; if the run is 25 ft or less, the 25 ft bundle costs less. The minimum fireplace opening is 28 7/8" wide x 23 3/8" high x 15 3/4" deep. An optional 5" fresh air intake kit (AC01298) fits the CW2900.
