Most of the Jotuls vent outside, though. The one I use to heat my whole house is direct vent through the wall -- no other chimney needed. Uses a double pipe and draws combustion air in through the outer space -- no inside air for combustion. Heats the whole place fine, runs on natural gas, looks like a wood burning fireplace, complete with flaming log, and is 85% efficient. Even runs on a standard remote thermostat with no outside source of electricity. Might be a bit much for a Westy, though.
