The Best Gas Stoves 2021/22
For many people, a wood burning stove just isn’t a possibility. Whether it’s because they don’t have a suitable chimney or just aren’t interested in maintaining one, we understand that they aren’t for everybody!
However, there are other options than solid fuel burning stoves - one of which is a gas stove.
In fact, we think gas log burners deserve a lot more credit. They offer the same cosy ambience as a ‘real’ stove while throwing out plenty of heat for you to warm up with on the coldest of days.
Here at Direct Stoves, we stock a fantastic selection of gas stoves for conventional flues, balanced flue gas stoves and flueless gas stoves. Take a look at our picks of the best here…
