When you want an alternative heating method for your home, you can look at gas and wood burning stove units. Both types have their own advantages, like being able to heat water for humidification or cook meals on the flat surface. The primary difference between the two types of stoves is how they need to be vented. Wood burning stoves require a chimney, whereas gas stoves can be directly vented.

Always Make Sure Your Wood Burning Stove is Properly Vented

When installing a wood burning stove to replace a fireplace, you can use the existing chimney. However, you may need to modify the existing chimney to accommodate your new stove. This may entail running a brand new chimney inside the existing structure. You should always make sure your stove is properly vented prior to using it. Here at Copperfield Chimney Supply you will find wood stoves and chimneys as well as accessories needed for your installation.
