Hello everyone,
I'm new to the "hearth.com" forum and I appreciate all of the great posts. I have learned a lot.
But here is my question.
I am buying a Hearthstone Clydesdale. As part of the install process I have the option of leaving it flush with the surround or allowing it to protrude out about 3 or 4 inches. One dealer told me that allowing it to protrude puts more heat into the room and another dealer said that it makes no difference. The theory the second dealer cited was that the fire doesn't burn any hotter or generate more heat as a result of the placement. He continued with his position by saying if the fan is blowing the exact same amount of heat is circulating.
What is the truth?
Thanks
