Fire Stove Pipe

Not at all — the Dimplex Stove Pipe is fully electric, so there's nothing to burn and nothing to vent. That means no chimney, no flue, and no ventilation work, which opens up rooms a traditional fire could never go near, from a flat with no chimney breast to an internal wall.

The Dimplex Stove Pipe is freestanding, so you can place it wherever suits your room without any fixed installation. There's no chimney, flue, or ventilation work involved, so it's a genuinely straightforward addition to a room rather than a renovation project.

Yes — flip the heat off and the flame keeps going. The Dimplex Stove Pipe's flame-only setting means it's just as much at home creating atmosphere on a warm summer evening as it is throwing out heat in December.

Everything on the Dimplex Stove Pipe is in your hands via the controls on the front of the unit, letting you dial the flame and heat in independently to match the moment. It has a variable thermostat, so heat adjusts smoothly rather than in fixed steps.

The Dimplex Stove Pipe is built to create a flickering, ambient flame display that brings genuine atmosphere to a room — with none of the fuel, smoke, or maintenance a real fire demands. Realism is always a matter of taste with flame effects, so it's worth watching a demo video if you can before deciding it's right for you.
