Local building code enforcement officials and fire inspectors are given
authority to determine if specific installations of solid fuel burning
appliances are safe. These professionals use recommended guidelines from
various nationally recognized organizations, such as the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the National Electrical Manufacturer's
Association (NEMA).
Please be sure to follow the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction over your specific installation.
Your Insurance Underwriter may also have specific guidelines with respect
to installation and inspection requirements for your solid fuel burning
appliance.

Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 211: Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, 2006 Edition.

inches in order to permit access door operations during routine maintenance.
Where permissible, additional horizontal clearance is desirable for ease of

combustible ceiling shall be no less than 36 inches. Additional vertical
clearance is desirable, where possible, for ease of maintenance access.
