Who It’s For

Most fireplaces are a standard size, and most inserts give you one look to go with it. You want to tune the fire to your room. The Supreme Insert 30 is the mid-size Supreme and the one with the most ways to personalize. It suits the homeowner who cares how the fire looks as much as how it heats.

What Makes It Special

Start with five ceramic fiber logs on a brick base, or the birch-log version. Then choose the interior: traditional or herringbone brick panels, or a reflective black glass liner.

An ambient light kit can wash the firebox with soft light when the fire is off, a feature the 25-inch size does not offer. The touchscreen thermostat remote and variable fan are standard.

Possible Downsides

• A front and surround are required and sold separately.
• The accent lighting is not recommended with the reflective black glass liner.

If you want a standard-size insert you can make your own, the Supreme Insert 30 is the right decision. The fire looks like it was designed for your living room, because it was.

Pick a firescreen, Halston arched, inside-fit, or Iron Age front, a surround, traditional or herringbone brick panels or a reflective black glass liner, an ambient light kit, and a wood mantel shelf.
