NO,
3 feet if a "generic" clearance for a old stove - one without a label, testing or a manual.
Most modern wood stoves at at 1/2 that or better.
Inserts usually specify clearances - the largest being, of course, on the floor in front of it and to a wood mantle or facing above it. In most cases, the clearances to mantels or trim are much less than 3 feet.

I'm having a problem with the Tv. its tooo close on the side of the Castine thats on the Hearth.i thought if i got an insert for the fireplace next year and put the castine in the cellar i could get away with the tv being two feet to the side of the insert.

Yes, in that case it is probably true. There may be other things you can do to retard the heat radiation in that direction.
BUT, note from the castine manual that the clearance to the side is only 19".
So two feet is not a problem. If you can upload a picture, we might have some suggestions for you.....to keep the existing setup.

As close as 19 inches to the side of the stove - but electronics want to be further, so 24 is nice -

At first it was going to be a pellet insert.the TV was fine.it will be a LCD so i think i need to see how far it will need to be from the stove.I hope i can swing the 24" part.
Thanks John
One of the nice things about these new stoves is the reduced clearance to combustables. My 13NC has back and side heat shields and has a 13" clearance to the back wall and an 11" clearance to the sides...

I was thinking about this.I now need to know what the tv makers are saying is a safe distance & heat temp for there tv's.
I would like to know what the people with tv's on top of the fireplace do :bug: when they put in a stove.

It has got to be well over a 100 degrees as some people put their T.V.'s in front of a window in summer, and most T.V. surfaces are black plastic, so I would think that 140 degrees is not unusual...
