Abstract
An improvement in a conversion insert for an existing fireplace cavity of the type having a back wall and outwardly diverging lateral walls providing an access opening. The insert has the normal sheet metal housing with a face plate extending transversely outwardly from the side walls of the housing to form a closure over the access opening in the fireplace. In the improvement, the spaced side walls diverge outwardly from the sheet metal rear wall of the housing to form a relatively large charging opening spaced from the fireplace cavity itself. In addition, there is provided an outwardly protruding convex, exposed front wall extending across the front of the large charging opening to the spaced edges of the face plate so as to block the face plate from view and to create relatively large compartments for blowers and other accessories.
