Freestanding gas stoves give you big heat without breaking the bank

Freestanding gas stoves are a beautiful, convenient heating option for any home with access to natural gas or propane. Gas fireplace inserts require an existing fireplace and traditional direct-vent gas fireplaces take up significant resource in the form of money and wall space.

Venting options for freestanding gas fireplaces & cast iron gas stoves

Freestanding fireplaces and gas stoves have many different venting options. Flexibility and heat are the reason you get a freestanding gas stove. Venting is an important consideration in any installation. You can paint your vent pipe the color of your unit, but the color will often fade with time. Please ask an authorized retailer about power coating your vent pipe if you want the venting to match your freestanding gas stove.

Wood stove venting is very expensive because of the heat output and safety requirements. Gas venting tends to be more affordable and can go outside vertically or horizontally. The cost of gas venting is a bit lower because the pipe can be a thinner material than something like a wood stove. (Homeowner quick fireplace tip: Freestanding gas fireplaces offer similar benefits to freestanding gas stoves, but with a more modern appearance and unique options without needing a traditional wood masonry fireplace.)

 

A new cast iron gas heating stove will add timeless beauty to your home

Cast iron offers a timeless design aesthetic. The classic appeal of a cast iron gas stove for heating is a beautiful addition to any home. Plates used to form a cast iron stove can crack with time if the stove is overfired, so it is important to take great care when burning a cast iron stove. (This is especially true with cast iron wood stoves.) The best cast iron comes from the United States of America. Thankfully, the USA still has some cast iron plants operating in 2024.
