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 favour 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 fall to respect required clearances.
