No advice & I don't recall the brand of ours (not a cheapo) but the
cost - installed - was $600 10 years ago. There was no real
"installation" as the house was being built...set the insert on
concrete blocks, hook up to pipe in chimney chase, put cap on top of
chase. Gas guy installed valve for the gas for the starter.
