The wood burning stove usually has a square body to it which contains the burning fire. A pipe will run out of the top of it to emit the smoke as a chimney. Some chimneys are constructed of metal in order to retain as much heat as possible. Others may be made of masonry, but they will usually offer less insulation and may look too large for some types of rooms.
