I think I may already know the answer to this question regrettably.. but I'd figure I'd ask in hopes of contradiction.
Is storing your soon-to-be-used firewood within the combustable clearence range a no-no. I'm currently a bit within the range..> I think I'm supposed to have 21" side clearance and I'm probably at 16-18". (interestingly the floor protection requirement is only 8 inches on that side.... so there is carpet closer than the wood)
The reason the wood is so close is because as a first year burner my wood isn't optimally seasoned.. I find sitting by the stove for a few hours to a day really helps the wood burn better, but due ot the layout of the room I can't have the wood just outside the combustable range.
My thought is that if the wood is being burned within 24 hours, its not going to get so dry or hot, that it would combust... and as it stands now the wood isn't even getting hot.. a larger concern may be a piece of plywood that the wood is sitting on that would be there 24/7
Am I an idiot for putting my wood that close or am I silly for worrying about it.
Thanks,
