Closed Front, Direct Vent Models with Glass Window
This appliance offers the greatest efficiency of all vented appliances, and the most versatility in installation due to the option of horizontal or vertical venting. Vent pipe may terminate through a wall or through the roof. A double wall vent pipe us used; one chamber provides outdoor air for combustion while the other provides a passageway to exhaust the fumes; this system balances incoming combustion air with outgoing exhaust air for a "balanced" operation. Direct vent models are the most efficient; they do not remove heated room air to provide combustion for the fire; their performance is not generally affected by home construction issues and they most often work perfectly in all installations.

Open Front B-vent Models (Natural Vent) Without Glass Window
This classification of appliance is the least efficient but most "authentic" in style because there's no glass window in front of the fire. Uses type "B-vent" pipe, usually 4" diameter. B-vent appliances rely on natural draft so the chimney must run vertically and terminate above the roof line. While rated as "decorative" appliances with no efficiency rating, we find these models will generally provide about 50% efficiency in most homes; 20,000 btu input will give about 10,000 btu heat output into the room. However, even when not being burned, the open front allows heated room air to escape up the flue so keep in mind this type of appliance is least desirable in terms of overall efficiency.
