Hey all. I’ve got an open spot in my house. It’s 46” x 48”. There is a single wall chimney liner to connect to. I’m looking for a stove that would fit in there that would pass a WETT inspection. Looking to stay with single walled pipe… are there any low clearance stoves on the market I should look at? Needs to be epa2020 and no catalytic. Budget, 2-3k CAD.
 
Not sure that's possible with single wall pipe.
E.g. even the Drolet nano needs 18" on the sides, so 3 ft used up by the clearance.
 
I think a modern Jotul 602 can work if you use alcove install instructions with double wall and side protection.

Covertong to double wall pipe is pretty straight forward, and may allow other options (and a short run isn’t terribly expensive). Why must you use single wall?
 
Check out the Drolet Spark II. It's affordable enough to cover switching to double-wall stove pipe in the budget. With the AC02762 heat shield and double-wall stove pipe, it has very close clearances.
