Gas stove vent
This is a small natural gas stove. Two questions. Is this the correct type of direct vent and is the soot an indication of an issue with the gas not buring cleanly.

Re: Gas stove vent
The listed instructions will tell you which venting systems are listed for use with this appliance.
This is a problem and needs a qualified technician.
The manual needs to be located for this unit to answer your venting questions and probably help the tech, too, such as log placment, specs, etc.

Keep the fire in the fireplace.

Re: Gas stove vent
The soot is a problem it usually indicates impingement of the flame or incomplete combustion.
The vent appears to be the typical type I see for a gas stove at least in my area.

Re: Gas stove vent
Matthew, the soot is not a normal occurrence thus needs to be investigated by a qualified technician. As part of that, the venting will need to be inspected and compared to the instructions. It may be the corrrect venting installed perfectly, it may be the incorrect venting or it may be the correct venting but not installed per the instructions of either the appliance or vent mfr.
If this is a gas direct vent then once it has been determined to be properly installed and operating, there would be no problem with it being installed in a bedroom.

Re: Gas stove vent
Just a wild guess. It could be sucking air around that glass door. If it is direct vent, there should be no other air getting in.
