HeatsTwice, have you tried placing the thermometer on the center trivet for comparison temps?
BTW, unless I'm reading the manual wrong, the stove appears to be about 9" too close to the wall. It needs to have 12" back clearance.
Hi,
When I put the thermometer on the trivet it registers 30 degrees lower than where you see it in my photos.
Regarding the stoves back clearance. Well I checked all of this out before installing the stove and this is the path of my reasoning.
1) On page 5 of the installation manule just below Figure 4B and the single wall chimey connector minimum clearance guide lines it says:
"Clearances can be reduced with shielding acceptable to local authorities. Reduced insdtallation must comply with NFPA211 or CAN/CSA-B365."
2) Table 12.6.2.1 describes the NFPA211 Reduction of Appliance Clearance with Specified Forms of Protections. This table can be found at this location: See chart below
Herein is described section "(f)" where 1/2 inch thick noncombustible insulation board with ventilated air space Maximume allowable Reduction in Clearance percentile is f.
3) I have constructed the wall behind the stove to consist of first 2x4 vertical studs placed 16 inch on center. Over this I have placed shiething of noncombustable cement board as found locally to be wonderboard. Then there is a 2 inch ventelation space followed by another sheithing of cement board.
4) Because of the presents of this ventilated noncombustable wall construction, the equation found in the "Notes" subsection 2 is used to calculate the minimum acceptable clearance. This works out to 4 inches.
5) Since the stove is already 4 inches from the non combustable wall, and since the ventilation space is 2 inches, my clearance to combustables is 6 inches - 2 inches more than it has to be.
6) All of the above puts the single wall stove pipe at 10.5 inches from combustables.
I'm an engineer and frightened to death of burning down my house. But I think its done right.
Thanks for pointing this out.
