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.
