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.
