Wood Stove
Is it normal for the wood stove insert to vent directly into the fireplace. I have usually seen them more in closed and with flues. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Re: Wood Stove
It is wrong. At the very least, there are parts missing. Call for an inspection.

Re: Wood Stove
Looks like a Craft stove. I grew up with one. The stove fits in just like it's shown...no special connection to the fireplace flue. However, there should be a sealed metal flange around the fireplace where it meets the stove. There should be no gaps for smoke to get out.
