Which it will heat better. What do you mean specifically by don't assume the
vent isn't suitable? It's a clay tile lined chimney inside concrete block
veneered with brick.

It will also heat better, but as noted it may have an odor. Don't
assume that the available vent is suitable for the fireplace. Have it
checked by someone who really knows first.

I'm planning to install a gas fireplace. Fortunately the location has
direct access to an unused flue on my chimney. What are the pros & cons
of direct vented vs. vent free, I haven't been able to find much on the
web beyond the fact that vent free will add moisture.
