Any fireplace or stove that is equipped with a vent to draw in fresh air will work... and you will just need to run a vent pipe, similar to a dryer vent, thru the wall or floor.
Ive seen fireplaces in the new mobile homes with the 'fresh air' vents already in place.
Hmmmmm now that I think on it.. Ive seen plans on fireplaces and stoves that were placed in underground homes, and they simply ran a vent pipe to near the stove. That should work for a mobile home too.
Find one you like, and ask the retailer about venting for it.
Hmmmmm one more thought.... the above statements are for a fireplace or stove placed INSIDE the home....if you mean something like a "hardy" stove, or wood burner, which is placed OUTSIDE the home, and then vented to the home... I believe most of these types of stoves will void the warranty on a mobile home. Its a manufacturer restriction, not osha (workplace), or epa (environmental). By the way.... Ive seen many mobile homeowners use kerosene heaters indoors... those also void the warranties.
Happy Shopping!
