What is a vent-free stove?
Vent-free fireplaces operate on natural or propane gas. Most of these gas fireplaces require no electricity. The flame is fueled by natural or propane gas through a permanent line that is connected to a blue-flame/yellow-flame burner or ceramic plaque burner within the heating appliance. Vent-free gas fireplaces operate without a chimney, flue or vent, so you can install one just about anywhere. Although these gas fireplaces are rated at 99+ efficiency, low levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and high levels of moisture can cause health problems in certain people. A primary safety feature is an effective, time-tested devise called an Oxygen Depletion Sensor system. Vent-free gas fireplaces are not available in certain states or provinces please check local building codes to see if you can install a vent-free stove.
