In the winter when its cold and windy. The wind blows the pilot light out and alot of cold air gets in. So useful.

The first image photos, show the vent goes upwards, than side ways.Csn a vent be made to go from side ways to upwards?

I like to know more about horizontal pipe and material to use. Please give me more links to watch and info.

How do I get permissions to use a part of the illustration graphics as an example for a video I’m working on? The videos I’m making are only for educational purposes only.

I hate my direct vent. It radiates convects cold air when not in use.

That’s safer direct vent because you’re pulling in air from the outside and expelling fumes outside and that’s not gonna kill you

how is the heat transfer through the glass?

Not true that they work "uninterrupted" during a power outage. We have a DV Heat 'n Glow and it requires 2 D batteries to be installed behind the screen at bottom to run the electric igniter and the blower that pulls the air in from outside. Also had a neighbor do this and the batteries leaked after just a few days use during the historic Texas winter storms from last week (Feb 2021). I was running my DV fireplace when power went out. It turned itself off and would not go back on without batteries, which we did not have.

Burning propane to heat a home would be considered a desperate measure in my opinion and should only be used during a power outage or similar catastrophe.

So these are just for show???? All WE ARE DOING IS BURNING no heat for the I’m going to freeze in the winter while my fireplace heat the outdoors????
