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.
