What's your type?
Before you select your stove, your local Gazco retailer will need to make sure it’s suitable for your home. Firstly, you need to know what fuel you will be running. Secondly, you will need to be aware of what type of chimney or flue you have. If you do not have a chimney then don’t worry, Gazco have models developed to suit your home too! To assist you in selecting the right stove for your home, a general guide to which models can be installed with the various flue types is given on each page.
Fuel - Gas or Electric?
The majority of our stoves are available in either gas or electric versions. All the electric models run on a standard 13amp plug and have no need for a chimney.
Which Gas type....
All Gazco gas stoves in this brochure can be specified for use with either Natural Gas or LPG. Natural Gas is provided though mains pipelines, whilst LPG is usually supplied to homes in rural areas from a tank in the garden or gas bottles.
Your home…
The type of chimney or flue you have usually dictates your choice of stove. To help you understand which stoves are suitable for your home, please use the information and pictures shown opposite to identify your chimney. Don’t worry, if you don’t have a chimney though, you can still find the perfect stove for your home! Once you have identified your chimney
Brick or Stone Chimney
(Class 1) 1
Conventional chimneys are easily recognisable. The stack rises well above the roofline and is topped by a traditional chimney pot or gas terminal. This type of chimney relies on the natural circulation of heated air to expel the products of combustion up your chimney.
Pre-Fabricated Flues
(Class 1 & 2) 2
You will see a metal flue cowl on your roof. Some are all metal whilst others may terminate through a short rectangular pot (but without a chimney stack). These flues create the same circulation of heated air as a brick or stone chimney.
Pre-Cast flues
(Class 2) 3
Many modern homes have been built with such flues. You can readily identify them by either a metal flue cowl or a raised ridge terminal on your roof. Again, the natural circulation of heated air expels the products of combustion. This option is only available on the small stoves
Balanced Flue
(No chimney required) BF
Balanced flues work in conjunction with glass fronted gas stoves. The appliance is completely sealed from the room into which it is installed (so there are no draughts and heating efficiency is increased!) and a
Powered Flue
(No chimney required) PF
A powered flue uses an extractor unit mounted to vent the combustion gases directly outside. This means that your stove does not have to be installed against an external wall, so it can be located in more rooms around your home. A mains electricity supply is needed to operate this system.
Electric Stoves
(No chimney required) 
Gazco produce an excellent selection of electric Marlborough, Stockton, Huntingdon 30, Clarendon, Ashdon and Steel Manhattan stoves which do not, of course, require a chimney or flue of any kind.
(or confirmed you do not have one), take note of the symbol that represents this, as this will be used throughout the brochure to represent the stoves that are suitable for installation in your home.
