Effortlessly controlled by a convenient remote, this sleek addition transforms an outdated wood-burning fireplace into a stylish haven of warmth. It delivers 6 levels of heat output from 17,000 BTUs high to 9,000 BTUs low, suited for areas up to 1,000 sq. ft.

A crystal clear Invisimesh safety screen comes standard, keeping the flame visible while adding a layer of protection. All replacement parts are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase, and the firebox itself carries a limited lifetime warranty.
How The Ashley AG26i Compares To Ashley's Vent-Free Gas Stove Options
Homeowners evaluating how to upgrade a drafty wood-burning fireplace usually face this question: should I choose this AG26i direct-vent insert designed to slide into an existing fireplace opening, or select a vent-free gas stove like the AGVF340N that requires no flue or chimney at all.
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Ashley AG26i Fireplace Insert | Ashley AGVF340N Vent-Free Gas Stove |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Type | Direct-vent insert designed to fit into an existing fireplace opening | Vent-free, no flue or chimney needed |
| Venting | 3 x 3 coaxial top vent | No venting required |
| Heat Output | 9,000 to 17,000 BTUs, 6 adjustable levels | Model-dependent, typically similar range for a comparable room size |
| Blower | 130 CFM blower included | Electric blower included, plugs in separately |
| Control | Multi-function thermostatic remote for heat, blower speed, and light intensity | Hidden gas controls below the stove |
| Installation Flexibility | Requires an existing fireplace opening and venting | Can be placed in zero clearance fireplaces, converted to an insert, or made freestanding with optional kits |
| Best Suited For | Homeowners with an existing wood-burning fireplace wanting a direct upgrade | Homeowners wanting flexible placement without any venting requirements |
Why The Ashley AG26i Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a gas log set, it's a genuine fireplace insert upgrade, giving homeowners the convenience of remote-controlled gas heat and light adjustment in the same footprint as their existing drafty wood-burning fireplace.
The AG26i specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want to convert an old wood-burning fireplace into a warm, efficient, remote-controlled centerpiece without a full fireplace replacement or new construction.
Turns A Drafty Wood Fireplace Into A Remote-Controlled Centerpiece. A multi-function thermostatic remote control adjusts 6 levels of heat output, blower speed, and light intensity from across the room, so what was once a drafty, hands-on wood fireplace becomes an easily adjustable heat source at the touch of a button.
Built For Comfortable, Adjustable Heat. Delivering 6 levels of heat output from 17,000 BTUs high to 9,000 BTUs low keeps areas up to 1,000 sq. ft. comfortable across a range of conditions, and the included 130 CFM blower helps circulate that heat evenly through the room.
Engineered For Safety And Clear Viewing. A crystal clear Invisimesh safety screen comes standard, keeping the flame visible while adding a layer of protection between the fire and the room. A 3 x 3 coaxial top vent keeps installation straightforward for direct venting through an existing chimney or wall.
Real Savings. Converting an old wood-burning fireplace avoids the cost and disruption of a full fireplace replacement or new construction. Remote-controlled heat levels help avoid running the insert at full output when it isn't needed, and a limited lifetime warranty on the firebox reduces the risk of costly early replacement. Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately.
The Bottom Line Homeowners with an old, drafty wood-burning fireplace who want a genuine gas upgrade can't get the same direct-vent convenience from a vent-free stove designed for open placement. The Ashley AG26i is built with a multi-function thermostatic remote, a 130 CFM blower, and a crystal clear Invisimesh safety screen, so it delivers a welcoming, easily adjustable centerpiece in the same fireplace opening. For anyone upgrading a wood-burning fireplace into efficient gas heat, this is the insert built to make it happen.
