Yes, it’s a traditional fireplace, the stove slides in and uses the existing flue. It has a fan to blow the warm air - we don’t need it when we are in the living room, but it heats the rest of the house when it’s on.
We have a lot of trees, enough fall from storms and such that get us through the winter. Our neighbors don’t use their fireplaces so we clean up their fallen trees for firewood too.
