Gas insert details our Kirkman South team gets right
How our Kirkman South crew orders the work, and which decisions stay yours.
What the insert manual asks of the chimney
Before the insert goes in, its manual lists conditions for the chimney it will vent through. The chimney must be built of noncombustible materials, clean and in good working order, with its joints engaged and the structure secured. Cleanouts have to fit properly so air does not leak into the chimney.
Those conditions cannot be judged from the living room. Our technicians look up the chimney, at the top and at any cleanout door, and write down anything that needs attention. Chimney repairs are quoted as their own items, so you can see what belongs to the insert and what belongs to the chimney.
Liners that run tight and straight
Flexible liner is easy to push into a chimney and just as easy to leave with a loop or a sag in it. The manual says the vent must not sag below its connection to the appliance, and that excess liner is pushed back up into the chimney without sagging.
A sag can hold condensation and restrict the flow. Our crew sizes the liner to the chimney, keeps it straight through the smoke chamber and checks it from below before the insert is set in place.
Mantel legs and side walls
Clearance rules apply at the sides as well as the top. The Supreme manual has tables for mantel legs and wall projections beside the opening, with minimum dimensions for each insert size and surround model.
Stone columns, wood pilasters and built-in shelving beside a fireplace all count. We measure them with the mantel, so the whole face works with the insert and nothing has to be torn out after the fact.
The logs that come with the insert
Gas inserts come with their own log set, designed for that burner. The manual gives a numbered position for each log, including how it rests against locating pins and where it must stay clear of burner ports.
Log placement affects the flame pattern and soot on the glass. Our installer sets each log to the diagram and checks the flame at startup. These logs belong to the insert itself, which makes this a different job from adding a loose log set to an open fireplace.

Your gas insert questions, Kirkman South edition
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Kirkman South.
Can I still burn wood after a gas insert is installed?
No. The converted fireplace is labeled for gas insert use only. Going back to wood means removing the insert and its liners and having the fireplace and chimney approved again.
Why does a new insert smell during the first fires?
The paint and materials cure during the first long burns, and that gives off a smell. Makers describe a break-in burn with the windows open and the fireplace on high for a few hours. The smell fades once the curing is done.
