I just bought a old olympic wood cook stove

[crapdiddly46]

How much wall clearance do I need with a wall pad mounted 1" out from the wall behind the stove? I need to stay as close to the wall as I safely can because of space issues. Thanks, crappdiddly46

If the wall pad is ventilated behind it (open at the top and bottom by at least 1"), then 12" is the min. clearance for an unlisted stove.

Thanks! So,. if I understand, its 5" from a properly mounted pad 1" from the wall, and 12" with no pad?

OK, thanks, I got it. Boy,, I paid 400 bucks for the stove and I just got a quote for all the pipe and stuff I need to do it right..... $1100.00 bucks. and I still have to buy the floor pad and wall pad. Expensive!!

Since I live in Shelton, I wonder if there is anyone out there that I could hire to help me install this thing right?

Is it a listed stove? Does it have a ul tag on the back listing the clearances? If not it is like bg said 12" from the combustible wall if you use a ventilated shield. Look on the csia website for local installers

No 36" without the wall shield and 12" with the proper NFPA 211 wall shielding. This article may be helpful.
