My log burner is in quite a small fireplace and initially I bought a taller model (also VonHaus) that wouldn't fit between the top of the stove and the roof of the fireplace so I returned it and bought this instead. It's great and sends out heat that otherwise would be trapped in the space above the stove. It got used nearly everyday for at least 5 months. Needs to be very gently brushed clean of dust and airborne ash.
