PART
B
–
INSTALLATION
It
is
very
important
to
position
the
wood
fire
as
close
as
possible
to
the
flue
system,
and
in
an
area
that
will
favour
the
most
efficient
heat
distribution
possible
throughout
the
house.
The
wood
fire
must
therefore
be
installed
in
the
room
where
the
most
time
is
spent,
and
in
the
most
spacious
room
possible.
Recall
that
wood
fires
produce
radiating
heat,
the
heat
we
feel
when
we
are
close
to
a
wood
fire.
A
wood
fire
also
functions
by
convection
that
is
through
the
displacement
of
hot
air
accelerated
upwards
and
its
replacement
with
cooler
air.
The
hot
air
distribution
from
the
wood
fire
is
facilitated
by
the
blower.
