no windows, there is a screen for the front that is included, it allows you to run it with the front doors open (screen in place) somewhat like a fireplace

You have to prime the chimney first, get some warm air flow with a piece of lit newspaper, once the air draws up you can light the wood and it shouldent smoke you out if you leave the doors open

Same thing as a fireplace in your home, if you dont get the updraft going in the chimney youll fill the house up with smoke
