looking to get the Harman Accentra.....question about the hearth.....the sales pearson told me according to NYS code the hearth must go out 18 inches in front of the stove.......i know as far as wood burning stoves she is correct....as far as pellet stoves i dont believe she is....i have a call into the Building Dept....waiting for a answer......does anyone know how far the hearth must come out.....it doesnt have to be NYS code...just trying to get some ideas of different areas...
