Jotul 3 CB foot print?

[anavant]

Hello all. Brand new to the forum and have a basic question. My Jotul 3CB's manual states all the clearance minimums for walls and ceiling, but does not state the area around the stove on the floor that needs to be covered.

Any ideas?

do you have a diagram for a rear vented corner installation ?

No, that was straight from the manual. Rear venting in a corner is a bit unusual. Why not top vent?

 

[anavant]

mostly because of the set up of the room. it works best in the corner and visually out the rear looks cleaner, in our opinion.

So it is venting out of the rear and then through a side wall? That may introduce a draft problem. Speak with your Jotul dealer about this.

really ? then why does the stove have the option of rear venting if it would create a draft issue?

For fireplace installs and straight out the back venting. In a corner case the flue gases will need to take an immediate 90 deg turn to meet the thimble, then out the wall and into another 90 deg turn before heading up the chimney. Those two 90s right out of the stove, on a horizontal plane are going to be hard on draft. I'm not saying it won't work, but it is possible that it could lead to smoke pouring out of the stove whenever the stove door is opened.
