Re: Gas Fireplaces: Direct Vent vs. Vent-Free

I've been on the fence due to the safety issue, but for wood burners this is ideal. Half my house is heated by a wood stove, and I struggle to keep my humidity level at 25%. Having a vent-free at the other end of the house and circulating the air would give me extremely efficient heat for the rest of the house, higher humidity throughout, and mitigate the air quality problems, since the percent of "bad air" would be spread throughout a larger space.

Any thoughts on this application?
