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.
Installation
FLOOR PROTECTOR
This heater must have a non-combustible floor protector with an R-Value
of at least 1.4 installed beneath it if the floor is constructed of combustible
material. If a floor pad is used, it should be UL listed or equal. The floor
protector should be large enough to extend under the stove and beyond
each side as indicated. If there is a horizontal run of flue pipe, there needs
to be floor protection under it that extends two inches beyond either side
of the pipe.
The floor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
