Some questions for you guys. New here and to wood stoves, were thinking of putting a Heritage in our new house. Just under 2000 square feet, I know the heritage is rated for 1900 but its a home built in 86 thats well insulated. Anyways its going to go in our living room which is wide open with cathedral ceilings 9 pitch, theres a very large hanging ceiling fan that put on reverse should push a good amount of heat to the upstairs which is an open loft. Heres my questions
1. Do the Heritages sell much under Suggested retail? Gonna call some dealers tommorow but I just want to have an idea before calling.
2. I researched and found out how I need to build the 1.2 R valued hearth which is going to be in a corner. I couldnt find the clearances for the stovepipe to combustables tho, I was planning on using single wall.
3. If i decided to build up the wall with tile does it need to be a certain R value as well, and does it have to go the entire length of stovepipe? I ask cause its going to be like 14 feet to get the cathedral ceiling and that would be quite a bit. Im looking in the NFPA 211 2010 but cant find much on that.
Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated, I know Im new here but not new to forums and hope to be around here for a looonngg time
