Who It’s For

An open fireplace sends most of its heat up the chimney and lets cold air in when it is not lit. You need to turn that opening into a real heater. The Regency Hampton Hi1150 is for the homeowner who wants wood heat from the fireplace they already have. Leave the opening open and it keeps costing you heat every winter.

What Makes It Special

The Hampton Hi1150 is a small cast iron wood insert with a decorative cast grille, and its cast iron exterior adds radiant heat. A brick-lined firebox reflects heat, and an air wash curtain keeps the glass clean.

Regency builds its wood products from thick-gauge steel and backs them with a limited lifetime warranty.

Possible Downsides

• It is a wood fire. You load it, tend it, and carry out the ash.

If you want real wood heat from the fireplace you already have, the Regency Hampton Hi1150 is the right decision. On the coldest night, the house is warm and the fire is the reason.

Choose metallic black or timberline brown enamel, the 2-speed blower, and a power outlet conversion.
