Wood stoves are used around the world for cooking and heating. The main material used as fuel is firewood. These stoves are available in various forms, shapes, sizes and prices as per the customer’s preferences.

An increasing number of options are available to customers as more unique designs and user-friendly models come into being. One such option is the free standing wood stove. As the name suggests, the stove is not attached to any wall or other device for support. It stands freely by itself on a pedestal base or a four-legged stand.

A free standing wood stove is movable and can be placed almost anywhere the user desires. It has a convenient lower ashtray, which collects the ash that is produced. This can be easily emptied from time to time. These wood stoves are made of heavy plate steel with a firebrick liner inside. The front of the stove has a transparent glass window, which allows the user to observe the burning wood. These transparent front panes are generally made from good quality glass that can tolerate the excessive heat generated by the stove. Many stove manufacturers ensure that they follow the recommended industry standards for safety, quality and performance.

Some manufacturers sell the various parts such as legs and stands separately. This makes it more convenient for users whose stoves might have been damaged with a broken base or stand. Some manufactures provide a warranty on their products ranging from three to five years. Some might also offer lifetime warranties on their free standing wood stoves.

Some of the free standing wood stoves can be fitted with different kinds of pedestals or legs so as to alter their appearance. A chimney maybe attached to the stove to provide a passage for the smoke.

A free standing wood stove is perfect for anyone who wants the convenience of a stove without the rigidity of a fixed installation.

    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
