Bedding large slab of bluestone to concrete for woodstove platform

And many people including me in one of my garages decide the risk is worth the benifits. But if it is against code it doesn't matter if it passed inspection or not an insurance claim involving the stove will be denied.

If you are ok with that risk that is up to you.

You mean against code by being a certain height off the floor?
When I spoke to the inspector he was well aware that what I was talking about was a 'detached garage' so I doubt if it's written in the code books that it can't be done where I am. I've followed all the requirements for installation. I never saw anything about height off the floor.

There is no requirement for height off the floor in the US. Simply that a solid fuel burner cannot be installed in a garage or any space where gasoline or other flammable vapors are present. Woodshops are not in the national code. But they are in some local and state codes.

I appreciate the information. There are laws against pretty much everything. I know people with woodshops that run propane for heat. I've had my heart set on this from the start and I'm too old to care what their rules are.

Like I said that is up to you. I am just providing you the information so you can make an informed decision.

My woodshop is heated with gas as is my business shop and garage. But my automotive shop has a wood stove. I know it is a code violation but it is out in the open and the building tools and one vehicle at a time in there doesn't have enough value for me to worry about the risk of it not being covered. When I rebuild it next to the business shop it will not have a wood stove.
