How does the b vent get air for combustion, and can it be rear-vented as well?
1 Answer
B-vent units are natural draft appliances, so the combustion air is pulled from inside the home. They also require a chimney that extends above the roof line to operate, unlike the direct vent option. The B-vent conversion can only be mounted from the top of the unit and cannot be mounted as a rear vent.

Is this model cast iron, so that radiant heat is available from the sides? How much does the rear vent adaptation cost? If we purchase the wall-mounted thermostat, is it necessary to buy the remote? Does this stove normally spark using electricity, but also has a backup battery pack sparker?
1 Answer
Yes, this is a cast-iron stove, but, since it is a gas stove and not a wood stove, the body of the unit radiates considerably less heat (but also, therefore, has much lower clearances to combustibles). The cost of a rear-vent kit will depend on the distance from the stove to the wall, the thickness of the wall, and the material of the exterior wall.
If you purchase the wall-mount thermostat, no remote can be installed, nor would one be needed. This is a millivolt/standing pilot ignition model so no electricity is used for the start-up process.

Can this stove be installed on a hearth in front of a fireplace mantle?
1 Answer
If you can maintain the 6" clearance required from the back of the stove to combustibles, yes, this can be done. You can see stove placement clearances on page 24 of the installation manual.

February 24, 2021
Is this a B vent stove? Can I vent it through my existing 6 inch woodstove chimney?
1 Answer
This stove can be installed as either a direct vent or B-Vent stove. If installed as a B-Vent model, you would need to purchase an adaptor and then it must use type B vent pipe and vent vertically over the roof. It would not connect to a 6-inch chimney but theoretically could be run up through the inside of that pipe.

Great Stove
Typical Canadian product, very nicely designed and assembled. Castings are beautiful. Creates silent, mellow heat, and is a stylish addition to my home. This appliance will heat my great room most of the time, limiting the use of the existing noisy propane forced-air furnace.
Pros
- Very attractive, silent, well assembled of quality components. Fired up perfectly the first try.
Cons
- Confusion with shipping...but everything actually shipped ultimately arrived in perfect condition.
