Please excuse me if this has already been talked about....
My husband is a bricklayer/mason. We are looking to create a solid masonry alcove in our living room and install a wood burning stove within. Stove not purchased yet - still in the research stage. We are looking to build a non-combustible alcove for smaller clearances. Pictures attached show our idea.
The alcove would "bump" into the garage which is on the other side of the living room wall. What constitutes a non-combustible wall? Do alcoves complicate things? Are the close clearances below possible? We would like a wood mantel and tv mounted in front.
We are so unsure on how to move forward.
