ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel draft hood assembly is provided for enabling the installation of a gas fireplace insert to the flue pipe of a fireplace chimney. The draft hood assembly includes a base plate provided with a rear opening therein which is alignable with the exhaust opening formed in the top panel of the fireplace insert. A superstructure body is integrally-mounted on the base plate, the superstructure body including a rear aperture which is aligned with the rear opening in the base plate, the rear aperture leading to an enclosed rear exhaust channel. A forward exhaust opening is provided in a top panel of the superstructure body, the forward exhaust opening being disposed forwardly, and completely offset from, but being in gaseous communication with, the rear exhaust channel. A forward, transverse deflector extends downwardly from the top panel of the superstructure body, the transverse forward deflector terminating a spaced distance above the base plate. A longitudinal rear curved deflector extends upwardly from the base plate and terminates a spaced distance below the top panel of the superstructure body. Positioning bars are provided for enabling the securement of the draft hood assembly to the firebox top panel. The positioning is facilitated by the provision of forward and lateral positioning clips on the top panel of the fireplace insert, which engage the front and side edges respectively of the draft hood base plate.
