Question:

I can't find anything about ceiling clearances. I want to put in a Lopi woodstove in my basement with a low ceiling.



Answer:

These are often given in the specs for "alcove" clearances. I would suggest a minimum of 42" for most radiant stoves, less for units that are completely double wall. That should be possible in most basements.
