A “free-standing” woodstove refers to a stove that is not built into a wood fireplace. That type of stove is known as a wood fireplace insert. Some free-standing wood stoves are elevated on legs, while others are mounted on pedestals, but all are positioned at least a few inches above the floor.
A wood fireplace insert is a self-contained appliance that fits into an existing wood fireplace and can be fueled by gas, wood, wood pellets, or electricity. Fireplace inserts are often used to replace old, inefficient wood fireplaces with cleaner-burning, more efficient options, including free-standing wood stoves.
A wood fireplace is a safe place for a fire, lit to provide warmth and illumination. Typically constructed from brick or stone, a wood fireplace features a firebox to contain the fire and a chimney to channel smoke and toxic gases out of the room. It also has several other essential components. Unlike a free-standing wood stove or a wood fireplace insert, which may have gaps, the wood fireplace is seamlessly built into the wall.
