Fire Place/ wood burning stove Question

[fburke]

I was thinking about putting in a small wood burning stove to help keep my oil bill down the issue I have is my living room has heat baseboard all around and I can not relocate a section due to my house in on a slab.

Is there a way I could box this in or maybe there is a stove on the market that doesn’t get too hot in the back? i would want to put in a wood burner not a pellet stove if possiable.

my house is about 1800sf tri levle with a pretty open floor plan. I'm only looking to help heat the main living area and where heat rises it should help the bedroom areas some.

any one know of any dealers in the North of Boston area?

Thanks!

Dear Friend,

You will find MANY stoves today that can get very close to the read walls and side walls. I was looking for the same, and one unit I considered was the Morso - I think 8 inches or so from the wall. Many other models allow 12" or closer.

Should be lots of local dealers around there. Check our dealer section:

There is also a link there to many other dealer searches, including our trade org.

There are several stoves that don't get too hot in the back, especially at baseboard level. There shouldn't be any need to relocate the baseboard. A stove needs a certain amount of clearance from the wall regardless. As to what stove would work, it may be more a matter of the style that works for you, budget, flue connection and how the stove will be burned (24/7 or mostly evenings and weekends). Is there an existing flue or will this installation be from scratch?

Morso 3610 and you wont have to run your boiler , it will heat your whole house.
There is a good dealer just North of you in New Hampshire, plus no sales tax
Home & Hearth

Hampton Falls

I can put my hand on the back of my stoves heat shield and leave it there when the stack is at 500 degrees.
If your thinking about getting a wood stove go "all in" IE get one that will do the whole house, you wont be sorry 8)

this will be a new installation there is no stove or fireplace at this time. here is a picture of the room it;s going in it will most likly go where the fish tank is now.

the room is actually a litt different where i have painted and replaced this living room set.

Where Thomas is seems like a good location, plenty of heat will shoot right up the stairs.

not sure how big of stove your gonna go with . with a heat shield you can put my lil tribute 7" from the corners to the wall.. and you can buy a raised hearth pad.. mine is 3 1/2" you can also get a 6" high one... not sure if it would work for you or not..

that might work as long at the foot print is on the smaller size and like i posted above i would rather not do pellets
