A fireplace that's suitable for in-wall installation doesn't have to be tiny, and it doesn't need to lack any power. In fact, it can be something like this 32-Inch Tahoe Deluxe Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Fireplace that has all of the heating capacity, and lots of other useful features to boot.
This unit features a realistic seven-piece log set, a large heat-resistant tempered glass viewing window, and remote-ready millivolt controls that make operation easy. As stated, the fireplace can be installed in a wall, plus it can operate without electricity and has a contour burner that generates up to 18,000 BTU's for your home's comfort.
There's also a discreet air distribution channel that eliminates the need for louvers but allows for the use of an optional blower. Add in heater-rated design and a 3-year limited warranty, and you come up with a package that has all of the heating strength you need and a fantastic in-wall look you'll love.

What is the rough opening requirements? And also the mantels I am looking at is the FSD-ROOS-42, or the Pearl Mantels 120-48. Will these work with this stove?

Answer:
Rough opening requirements for the DVCD32:
35 3/4" H
34 3/8" W
16 3/8" D
Please download the manual from this item page.
The FSD-ROOS-42 should work fine, as the interior dimensions are larger than what you need to frame this fireplace (46.5" W / 40" H), as is the Pearl Mantels 120-48 (48" W / 42" H).
