Choose your direct vent gas fireplace by fuel, wall position and the view you want of the flame. This collection has more than 110 options, ranging from about 30 to 81 inches wide. You can choose a traditional log set over a glowing ember bed or a low, wide fire over crushed glass.

For everyday heating, compare controls too. Most units have a remote, many have a blower, and most electronic-ignition units have battery backup to light during a power outage.


How to choose a direct vent gas fireplace

Confirm natural gas or propane first: every unit runs on natural gas, while more than 55 can be ordered for propane. The fuel is set when the unit is built. An exterior wall makes installation simplest; many units suit an interior wall if the pipe can reach outside.

Measure your wall before choosing a focal point. Traditional units are mostly 32 to 42 inches wide. For a direct vent linear style, compare low, wide linear fires, mostly 38 to 74 inches. Choose see-through designs for two rooms, multi-sided shapes for a peninsula or bay, or corner-ready options.

Need another format? Consider vent-free gas options where no pipe can go. Four of our six freestanding gas stoves use direct vent gas. For real logs instead, indoor wood-burning fireplaces need a chimney.

Frequently asked questions

What is a direct vent gas fireplace?

It is sealed behind a glass front. Its pipe assembly brings outside air in for combustion and sends exhaust back out, keeping the fire separate from indoor air. It needs no chimney, just venting through a wall or roof.

Can a direct vent fireplace go on an interior wall?

Yes, many units can, provided the vent pipe reaches outside, usually through the roof or a hidden chase. An outside wall is simplest, with a short pipe straight out the back. Call us with your room layout and we will talk it through.

Direct vent or vent free, which is better?

Choose a direct vent gas fireplace for a main living space or bedroom: its sealed fire uses outside air. Vent-free gas needs no pipe, but the room must meet the manual’s minimum size, and some areas restrict it.
