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.
