Howdy all, I picked up an old 3340 Earth Stove to heat my shop and I have questions about the stove and how to safely go about installing and operating it. Is this the proper forum for these questions?

If there is no UL label on the back of the stove then it needs to be installed to NFPA 211 regs for an unlisted stove. These regs require 36" clearance from any combustibles in all directions. The side and/or rear clearances can be reduced to 12" using a ventilated wall shield. The hearth pad must have at least an R=1.19 insulation rating unless the stove is on a cement floor. The flue system must be sized according to the stove requirements usually set by the flue collar size.
Yes, correct. 8" stove pipe to connect the stove to the class A chimney pipe when it exits the room.
Thank you. Any ideas on a search term to find out if anyone has successfully installed a baffle on these older stoves to keep the heat from going straight up the flue? Seems you could steal a little more heat from the burn by placing a baffle between the burn and the gaping 8" hole in the top.
