hello, I was looking into if it was possible to get a wood burning stove installed on the second floor of my house in a large bedroom. Is it possible to do so?
Can you have a wood stove on a second floor?

I live in an extremely rural area and to my knowledge I don't think there's and codes against it. I meant more of a technical aspect with the height of the chimney etc.
Yes, you can have a woodstove on the second floor. You can also sleep in the second floor den. However, if you get a permit for the stove and for the conversion of a bedroom to a den, when you go to sell the place you will not be able to list that room as a a bedroom.
I have a rather large bedroom. It is 28X28, it has two doors to the outside, one on each side of the room. I am sitting on the bedroom couch as I type this. There is also a desk, coffee table and club chair. I have a Hearthstone stove in there too.
I would not recommend this route.

I may be wrong because I don't know every states laws but I hear so often that "there's no codes where I live". Usually this comes from an uninformed person. While they may be correct that there is no specific county or city codes there usually is a state statute that falls back or has adopted national code.
