Question
Hello,
Can you tell me if it is possible to get a double sided wood burning stove in the United States?  I see them on British websites everywhere, but I cannot find a single American distributor of these stoves.  Would you be able to tell me where I might be able to find one, or if not, the reason it is so hard to find one in the US?

Thank you!

Answer
Hello Olivia, not sure why they don't sell those here,  and do in the UK.
Might be that double sided fireplaces to not work to well and smoke?
I have never seen a double sided wood stove in 25 years. stop by your local wood stove store and see what they do have, buy local, they service what they sell, most times even if they sell a particular stove but you buy it else where they might not service it (even if it is still under warranty) and might tell you "if it is broken take it back to the place your bought it and they will fix it or bring the stove into my store and then I will fix it" I have seen stores do this and be sure it is installed as per local building department.
