Guys- I've ran into this install so many times- from the pictures, an Oslo is a no-go. You do not have the required side wall clearance to operate the side door. If you want an Oslo, you will need to lock that side door, defeating a prime reason for having this stove. I am the last one to try and tell people what to do, but in your scenario, we have turned down sales for the indignant customer who will "Install it anyway, no matter what you say or the manual, its my house." They are correct too, it is their house. I try to fall on the safety side, not knowingly let someone do something they should. Jotul's number is still the same, you can use 800 instead of the area code. They are going to tell you the same thing though, its in black and white. There are too many nice stoves out there that will do the job greatly for you, rather than risk injury to anyone. But Jotul's answer and the store I work at is its just not worth the risk. I also agree with the crowd here, front loading an Oslo would be no fun and would lead to frustration. Good luck with it, Jotuls are great stoves, but so are many others.
