ProCom QNSD250RT Dual-Fuel Vent-Free Gas Stove

What you get

The ProCom QNSD250RT Dual-Fuel Vent-Free Gas Stove is a vent-free gas stove that its maker rates at 25,000 BTU per hour and says heats up to 1,100 square feet.

Treat the 1,100 square feet as the maker's best case for an open, reasonably insulated space, and check it against your room before choosing.

At full fire it burns about 24 cubic feet of natural gas or about 0.27 gallons of propane an hour (its 25,000 BTU/h divided by EIA's heat content for each fuel).

As a vent-free unit it burns room air and releases its exhaust and moisture into the room, so nearly all its heat stays indoors. Its manual sets a minimum room size for its BTU rating, and some local codes restrict vent-free appliances. Vent-free vs direct-vent.

Fuel, per the listing: Gas. Never connect a gas heater to a fuel it isn't set for.

Ignition: Piezo ignition.

Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 13 in (D) x 32.25 in (W) x 25.8 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 50 lb and metal construction.

Warranty, per the listing: 1 year limited warranty.
