Direct vent stoves are sealed appliances that bring in outside air and send exhaust through a co-axial pipe. In this catalog the direct vent stoves are the Napoleon gas models: Knightsbridge, Havelock, Haliburton, Castlemore, Bayfield and Arlington, rated from 20,000 to 44,000 BTU. This page also sits alongside the wood and pellet stoves from Osburn and Buck Stove. Many shoppers search for a direct vent wood stove, so it is worth knowing that wood burning needs a conventional flue, while direct vent applies to gas.

A direct vent gas stove is the easiest to site, because the vent runs straight through a wall or roof and the stove does not use room air. Its output is set by the gas burner, which makes heat predictable. A wood stove uses a chimney or stovepipe and gives more heat per unit but needs firewood storage and regular flue cleaning. When you compare them, think about fuel access, the heat you need and how much work you are happy to do. Measure the space, check the clearances in the manual and plan a hearth pad. For wood stoves, look at the Osburn and Buck Stove collections, and for gas, the Napoleon models here.
Wood stoves vent through a chimney or flue pipe rather than a sealed direct vent system. Direct vent is a gas appliance feature, offered here on the Napoleon stoves.
Pellet stoves use a smaller vent pipe than a wood stove, and the manual specifies the pipe type and termination. The Osburn 2500 is the pellet model listed.
