stove on 2nd story/attic...?

[jotelandmorsoe]

hello everyone

i have a morsoe 1b stove (just like the lower photo here https://www.hearth.com/talk/wiki/morso/)

and i am wondering if it is allowed for me to install it in my attic/2nd story? it will not be designated sleeping quarters, although im sure i will pass out on occasion. it is going to be a yoga, meditation, ect... room. i got this stove at a bargin and i am really looking forward to getting to use it.

i did a quick search and did not come up with any information except it would not be advisable to have it in a bedroom.

TIA

It should be ok, just be sure to install it safely and honor clearance requirements. You will want to use 5" stove pipe to connect to the chimney. It's ok to use 6" chimney pipe with a 120mm to 6" increaser at the chimney support.

great! and thank you for the link as well - i was wondering what i was going to do.

Are you willing to carry wood upstairs? I don't think I'd be into that.

 

[jotelandmorsoe]

hahah, that is a good point.

but it's a small stove and certainly will not be spending a lot of time up there - may be 3 hours max a day.

thank you again for your help

That would only require bringing up a bundle at a time. Not too tedious. Do you already have a Jotul in the house?

yes sir! Jotul F400 in black for about 3 years now. we love it - i didn't grow up with wood stoves but now i can't imagine not having one. we have central heating (gas) which we use to pump heat into the dog grooming room in the back of the house - but otherwise the Jotul keeps the first floor pretty comfortable.
