gas stove or pellet ???

im looking to put another stove in my basement i cannot decide between gas or pellet this stove would be for slight warming but mostly ambiance, if i do gas i can install it on the wall next to furnace so plumbing would be easy but venting would be tricky. can i vent it in furnace chimney? a pellet stove may work on wall just need to run pipe up wall oan out just over foundation. whats up with vent free gas stoves are they any good? thanks

If you have gas available, it is an easy choice.
No loading
No twice weekly clean outs.
Nice ambiance (No blast furnace look)
Very quiet when you turn the fan off. (No option with the pellet stove)
No plastic bags to get rid of.
No storing tons of pellets.
No searching for pellets.
No dust.
No screening.
Very little maintenance.
Likely cheaper fuel.
No worry's.
Most likely cheaper to buy/install.
HEAT WITHOUT ELECTRICITY.

What was your question again?

ya looks like gas is winning just would be the venting. i could maybe put on opposite wall just a little more plumbing. just have to find good deal on gas stove and cheap install. seems hard to find them cheap.

Hi Arguss,
I would avoid any appliance that is "Vent Free". They are band in many states and many dealers won't handle them.
They are definitely a health hazzard and can cause many problems inside your home from the moisture and the gas fumes they produce that are not vented to the outside.
