This is a great alternative in cases where it's difficult to install a 6" (150mm) or if the chimney has some odd bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat that is distributed to the room. It does this via radiation, where the hot surface of the stove reflect heat back into the room or through convection, in which it draws cold air from outside, then heats it up, and then redirects it back to the room.
