Installation Of Your Drolet Woodstove
Positioning The Stove
It is very important to position the woodstove 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. Remember: woodstoves produce radiating heat, the heat
we feel when we are close to a woodstove. A woodstove 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 a
blower or the installation of floor or wall grills.
Important: A woodstove 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
clearance.
The woodstove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system
since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.
Floor Protection
