These stoves, often referred to as balanced flue stoves, are ideal for new-build homes that have been "sealed" and do not have traditional chimneys made of masonry. These stoves use twin flue pipes. One pipe is used to expel hot gases from the stove, while the other pulls in fresh air to help balance the flow.

Installation

This stove is more affordable than the larger ones, but still provides enough heat for most rooms. It's essential to choose a stove that's the right size for the space you have. Over-sized stoves can either be too hot or they may not be able to achieve their maximum potential for heat.
