Product Description

An open masonry fireplace loses most of the heat it makes straight up the chimney. The Nova C Insert Surround Kit turns that opening into a working heater: the Nova C firebox slides into the fireplace and this steel surround finishes the face, sealing the gap and hiding the rough masonry edge behind a 29 in H x 40 in W trim panel. Rated up to 50,000 BTU/hr at 79% maximum efficiency with 1.9 g/hr EPA-tested emissions. This listing is the surround kit only — the firebox is a separate part number.

Key Features

  • Converts a masonry fireplace into a heater – captures the heat an open fireplace sends up the flue
  • Finishes the opening cleanly – a 29 in H x 40 in W trim panel covers the gap between firebox and masonry
  • Up to 50,000 BTU/hr, 79% max efficiency – insert performance figures published by MF Fire for the Nova C
  • 1.9 g/hr EPA-tested emissions – well inside the current federal limit for residential wood heaters
  • Takes 18 in splits – the same firebox capacity you get in the freestanding version
  • Measure first – your fireplace opening must be at least 25 in H x 30 in W x 16 in D for this configuration to fit

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include the stove?

No. This is the surround and trim assembly. You also need a Nova C firebox, and most installations need a stainless liner run up the existing chimney. We can quote the full package — call (302) 496-3554.

How do I know my fireplace is big enough?

Measure the inside of the opening at its smallest point. MF Fire requires a minimum of 25 in H x 30 in W x 16 in D for this configuration. If you are within an inch either way, send us your measurements before ordering rather than guessing.

Does it come with a blower?

The room blower fan is a separate MF Fire part number rather than part of the surround kit. Send us your build details and we will confirm which blower MF Fire specifies for your configuration before you order.

Can I get a door finish other than Satin Black?

In the insert configuration MF Fire builds the body in Satin Black, and door finishes including Charcoal and Stainless Steel are available as separate part numbers. Ask us about special-order finishes if you want something beyond the stocked options.
