Vent free gas stoves are ideal for homes with limited space. Since the ventless gas stove doesn't require any bulky vent pipe or external attachments, you can place ventless stoves in places you would never be able to fit vented models. Similarly, if you're searching for efficiency, you're definitely going to want to go with a vent-free stove. This is because while vented units can lose a significant amount of the warm air they produce up their chimneys, ventless wood stoves are entirely self-contained, allowing all of the heat to remain inside the home.
Can one of your vent free natural gas stoves be shipped to California?
1 Answer
While we can ship them to California so that they can be transported and installed in another state, we must inform you that they are illegal to install and operate in California. Did you have a particular one in mind? I'll be happy to get you a quote if you would like.
Is it possible to convert a natural gas vent free stove to a propane direct vent stove?
1 Answer
Unfortunately, you cannot modify a ventless firebox to be a working closed combustion unit nor the other way round. You would have to replace the one you have now.

Can ventfree units be converted between fuel types?

Vent free stoves are not convertible, due to the dangers that can arise if the stove is improperly converted. Manufacturers only produce conversion kits for vented appliances at this time.

Where does the smoke go if one does not have a vent?
1 Answer
Vent free appliances are manufactured so that they do not release soot or CO when burning. The burner is designed to facilitate and optimal fuel ratio, with no obstruction to the flame and the release of only carbon dioxide and water vapor. It is important to note that they do use oxygen from within the room for combustion and as such, they do not work well in smaller spaces and high elevations, due to the lack of available oxygen.
