Woodstock Minimum Ceiling Clearance Requirement

[Renovation]

Hi Folks,

The updated info on the new Woodstock has me fantasizing about installation options, including minimum ceiling clearance. ("Hearth.com--at least it's not crack!")

My searches here haven't turned up anything. My search of Woodstock's manuals for the Fireview says has turned up nothing about ceiling requirements or alcove installations. The only restriction I've found is in the installation section Fireplace Installation where it says:

The same clearances from your stove and stove pipe apply to both fireplace and freestanding installations. Be particularly careful to check clearances to a wood mantle, or a wood fireplace facade. You must maintain a 30” clearance to an unprotected wood mantle.

30" would be easy for me to work with.

Can anyone offer me any guidance? I've emailed Woodstock with my question (and thermostat wish) and will post the results here.

George, the best I can give is from the manual, page 9 where it states 30" minimum clearance to an unprotected wood mantle.

Feel free to email Woodstock on this or better yet, call them. Let us know what you find out.
