Our house has an old Heatilator metal liner fireplace which is piped into a Cinder Block with Clay Flue chimney. It burns through wood like it is going out of style so I would like to get something more modern in with a bit longer burntime. I can't do an insert replacement as the heatilator front opening for the firebox is 20" tall and all of them I can find at 22" required to fit.
I was looking at this from Menards. USA made and heats 1800 sq/ft which our heated area is ~900 sq/ft
It is 27" deep and 28" wide and 31" tall

Here is what I am working with. My plan at this point is to remove all the brick I have circled in red and then refinish the interior wall with some stone looking stuff.
Depth of the area is ~34" from the front face
And here is the backside in the garage.
Couple questions I have from folks that might know is should I run a flexible 6" steel liner up inside the clay or just run a 6" to 9x13" adapter for the clay flue?
The entire area where the current fireplace sits is cinder block and concrete so I don't forsee any issues with the stove sitting in the nook, but the nook is only ~55" tall so that would leave 20" between the top of the stove and the top cinder blocks.
Anything else I am missing here? I don't really want to go through the effort of tearing out this old heatilator without good results.
