Who It’s For

Not every house needs a big heater, and an oversized one just cycles on and off. A smaller home should get heat sized to it. You need a compact insert that turns the fireplace into a dependable heat source. If your living space is modest and you want to stop feeding the furnace all winter, the Forge & Flame Santa Fe Insert is the one to look at. Choose it and the room stays even instead of swinging from too hot to cold.

What Makes It Special

It is sized for smaller spaces: the maker rates it at roughly 700 to 1,900 square feet. That makes it a good match for a cottage, a smaller ranch, or a main floor you live on most of the day. It features Quadra-Fire burn technology.

A digital wall thermostat is included, so you set the temperature and the insert picks among its three heat settings to hold it.

Possible Downsides

• The surround is required and sold separately.
• Its 45 lb hopper is the smallest in this lineup. For fewer fills, look at the Classic Bay 1200 Insert.
• The ceramic log set is optional.

If you want steady heat for a smaller home from the fireplace you already have, the Forge & Flame Santa Fe Insert is the right decision. Your favorite chair finally stays warm from breakfast to bedtime.

Choose a small or large metal surround in black nickel or satin nickel, and add a two-piece ceramic log set, outside air kit, remote, or adjustable hearth support.
