I installed a regency stove in our lower level and used Metalbestos pipe to go up through the next level. This is our first wood stove. Can I place vents in the boxed in area? It is dry walled with fire grade drywall. I don't know if placing a vent on the box will offer warmth or would create a problem. The inspector did not know.
Also, I'm over 2 inches away from the framing, although in two to spots I'm under 3 inches. Can anyone speak to what type of safety testing is done on these pipes? Just wondering if I can I sleep at night.
Thanks
