Got our fireplace installed while we were out camping this weekend. It's awesome!

Andymon, thanks for the info. Can't believe I hand thought of that since our TV is just above where I want to install a fireplace. Your floor plan is similar to our Trailblazer we had befor we got out 5er and you're a few hours to the south of us.
I had to drill a hole next to the stereo for the plug to go through and also enlarge the hole on the TV shelf. Ace had a 1 3/8" plastic bushing that fit around the second hole so as to make it look nice. so, above the fireplace is the stereo and a cubby hole and then the TV is above that. Cord was plenty long enough. I did have to build a platform for the fireplace to sit on so it was up as high as it could go. Fortunately, the shelf that we took out of the cabinet will be used to cover up the platform. Pics to follow after this weekend when we get it all trimmed out.
I also took off two of the screws on the back of the fireplace and got longer one. Drilled holes in the wall behind the fireplace, and then used one of the shelf braces over those. Ran the two screws through the brace and into the stove. It ain't going anywhere!
