Description
The Kozy Heat Oakport 18 is a freestanding direct-vent gas stove — the cabin-classic look of a traditional wood stove with the convenience and efficiency of modern gas operation. With 24,500 BTU/hr of input, up to 77% efficiency, a 184 sq in viewing area, and a cast-iron stove silhouette with traditional legs and screen front, the Oakport 18 brings genuine character to rooms where a wall-mounted fireplace doesn’t fit — cabins, cottages, vacation homes, smaller living spaces, and any room where you want the warmth of a stove without the hassle of cutting and hauling wood.
What Makes the Oakport 18 Different?
The Oakport 18 belongs to a specific category in the Kozy Heat lineup: freestanding direct-vent gas stoves. This is meaningfully different from Kozy Heat’s wall-mounted fireplaces (the Nordik, Springfield, SP, and Callaway series, all built into walls). The stove form factor opens installation possibilities that wall-mounted fireplaces can’t match:
- No wall framing modifications — the Oakport stands free in the room on its own cast-iron legs. You need a gas line and a direct-vent path through an exterior wall (or roof), but you don’t need to cut into a wall, build a chase, or coordinate framing changes.
- Four-sided radiant heat — because the stove sits in the open, heat radiates from all four sides plus the top, warming the surrounding room more evenly than a wall-mounted fireplace that radiates from a single face
- Flexible placement — corner installation, against an exterior wall, or even mid-room (as a peninsula). The direct vent pipes through the nearest exterior wall regardless of where the stove sits in the room.
- Cast-iron stove aesthetic — the Oakport 18 looks like a traditional wood stove with traditional legs and screen front. It’s the right answer for cabin, cottage, lake-house, mountain-house, and farmhouse aesthetics where a modern wall-mounted fireplace would feel out of place.
- Limited lifetime warranty — Kozy Heat backs the Oakport with one of the strongest warranties in the gas appliance category
Standard features included with the Oakport 18:
- Traditional cast-iron legs — the classic stove silhouette is standard, not an upgrade
- Patented Kozy Heat burner & log design — produces a clean, realistic flame with even burn across the firebox
- Standard screen front — adds visual depth and traditional stove character to the front face
- Log media — included; you don’t need to buy a separate log set as with some other Kozy Heat models
- High-quality ceramic glass — withstands the higher operating temperatures of an all-radiant stove design; preserves clarity over years of heat cycling
