You see, stove venting varies by the type of fuel being burned in the stove. For instance, wood-burning stoves will always be vented through the roof of your house, but pellet-burning stoves can be vented vertically through the roof, or horizontally through the wall to the outdoors. Same with gas stoves - venting can be routed in either direction - vertically or horizontally.
Now that you understand venting, perhaps it's time to consider your options for stoves? There are many styles of highly efficient wood-, gas- and pellet-burning stoves that will not only heat your home but beautifully complement your home's décor. Check them out here.
