My in-laws would like to put a small woodstove in their new sunroom. Their plan is to put it in the corner of the room. both walls would consist of sliding glass doors that are not used. I can't find any information regarding installing next to glass, only conbustible and non-conbustible materials and the clearances. Would it not be recommended? How far away if it was ok?
Thanks

Consider the doors as combustibles and install according to the specs in the stove manual.
 
Thanks for the reply, so looks like 36" clearance. Would any type of reflector cut down that deistance?
 
Where did you get 36" from? I don't think i've ever seen a clearence requirement that big. I'm pretty sure single wall stove pipe is only 18".

My stove is in front of glass doors. Works great - enjoy the fire and the view at the same time. Plus the hot stove counters the coldness of the glass.

I just measured ours and it is 32" from the nearest point of the stove to the door handle.

Thanks for all the replies. Got the 36" from a maine.gov website, guess its off or I read it wrong. Catspaw, that looks great, and similar to what my in-laws are going for.
 
You should be able to put a stove next to glass my windows are double pain similar to glass doors and they are pretty close to the stove I have never had an issue with any of the stoves being next to the glass.

Good Luck
Pete

That is gorgeous Catspaw!
