Hi, in answer to your question, if it was me, I would pretty much decide ont he type of fireplace I was evenually going to install. Check for manufacter recommended clearances and read thru the instillation guide. You may have to keep in mind, window and door placement, where you gas line is going to come thru to the interior and meet up with your heating device, and maybe a heat resistant surround may be neccessary.. Better to check into these things now rather than to limit yourself to a few stoves after the construction phase is done...good luck

My husband has been using our fire place for yrs. we have one of those cast iron door type of fireplace. any way make sure the fire place is clean from the shoot from the yr. before. once it is you have to make sure you have a rack to put the wood onto.do not put it on the floor of the fireplace if you can help it the wood needs some air to make a fire . ok this is what we do open your flute than take some kindling wood and some old newspaper the black and white section only nothing with ink meaning like the walmart add that dyes in it and that give off fumes which are not good for you. than place the wood on top of the rack not too much wood light than once you get a flame going put your screen in place let it get good and hot than you can close the doors. at that point you can close the flute and it should keep burning for you. always wear fireplace gloves and have a poker, shovel and a old metal pail near buy do not put any ashes that are in the fireplace into any type of plastic container you get rid of them there good be some live ashes still and if you put in plastic ctic you will melt it and cause a fire in your house also have a fire proof rug in front of the fireplace just in case the ashes or anything sparks. do not let any kids do this . it takes time to learn but be careful

just need the exhaust vent pipes installed, and gas to the area, also, electricity for the fan, and a switch and wires ran to the fireplace area, so you can flip a switch to turn it on.

If you plan on installing an unvented gas log, it can't be in a bedroom or sleeping area.
