Ventless or vent-free stoves don’t require a chimney or flue, so these are excellent for homes with limited space because you won’t have to worry about pipe installation as well. These come equipped with sensors to ensure adequate oxygen remains in the room. A direct vent stove is vented to the outside and doesn’t require a chimney either. This is the most common type of stove. The last type, natural vent stoves, are vented using an existing chimney, such as a furnace or wood-burning chimney.
