POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that
will favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore
be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.
Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove.
A wood stove also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated
upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may
be facilitated by the installation of a blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive
accumulation of heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the
way in case of fire or fail to respect required clearances.
