Just spoke with Woodstock asking about when clearances might be published for the Progress. I thought I'd post since it might save Woodstock a few calls.
They are getting some preliminary numbers in. They don't want to publish anything until the numbers are finalized. So, keep in mind this is very subject to change. That said, they are looking at 8" to 10" rear clearance with the heat shield. More interestingly, the front clearance is going to be a bit higher than their other stoves. They might be looking at 16 inches for the front. However, that can be measured directly from the stove to the hearth meaning both vertically and horizontally. Based on Mr. Pythagorean, that would be about 13 inches measured horizontally with the 10 inch legs.
Also, they didn't sound too certain about the first stoves shipping the last week of October, since they can't ship a stove without a manual, and they can't finish a manual without the clearances.
Maybe this post will save them a couple calls so they can keep working on our new stoves!
