Each Wood Stone Home oven installation is unique. Because our ovens can be installed indoors or outdoors, recommendations for ventilation vary. All indoor installations require an exhaust fan, but most outdoor installations do not. Please consult your contractor or call the factory if you have any questions.
Outdoor Installations
If your Wood Stone Home oven is being installed outdoors, without the protection of covering from above (i.e. roof, patio, gazebo, etc...**), the flue of the oven will need to be protected from the elements with a rain cap. You can supply your own, or you can purchase a chimney from Wood Stone (see below).
**Please note, if you are installing your oven outdoors under a covered area, it may need to be vented similar to an indoor installation. Please see the venting section of your oven’s Installation and Operation manual.
Outdoor Chimney
Wood Stone offers a chimney in two different finishes - Galvalume (a coating consisting of zinc, aluminum and silicon that is used to protect a metal from oxidation) and stainless steel. Note that the Galvalume finished chimney sections must be painted with a suitable high-temp coating (rated for 500°F min.) such as Rustoleum V200 Series prior to installation. For additional information regarding which option might be best for your outdoor installation, please call us at 800.578.6836 and speak with a customer service representative.
For details about how to install a Wood Stone Home oven outdoors, please review the Installation and Operation manual for your oven.

Variable Speed Exhaust Fan (WS-GSV)
Wood Stone is proud to carry the world’s finest line of oven exhaust fans for gas and solid-fuel venting applications. The fans are designed to withstand the high temperatures associated with stone hearth cooking, and creosote production that results from solid fuel burning. The construction of the exhaust fans’ axial vanes creates a self-cleaning effect. Whether venting your Wood Stone Home oven through a hood or through a direct chimney connection, the WS-GSV is the perfect fan for the job.
Made in Denmark by Enervex (formerly Exhausto), the direct-drive WS-GSV fans are rated for continuous operation at 450° F. Please see below to view their spec sheet for additional information:
