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.
