We're finishing a renovation and will be installing a beautiful Hearthstone Bristol DX gas stove in my kitchen where there are 150 year-old pine floors.
The installation manual states "You can place the Bristol directly on any noncombustible surface or on a wood floor (p.16)." (Full manual is here.)
But, can I really? Should I???
An additional complication: We have in-floor radiant heat in the kitchen. Any thoughts on whether the heat from the gas stove will adversely affect the in-floor radiant heating system?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
