Timberline Airtight

[Cuzz]

I am trying to install an older Timberline airtight wood stove in my house but can"t find enough info on the stove. I want it to be up to manufacturers specs so my insurance company will cover me but i am having trouble finding out exactly what that is. Does anybody know clearanses as far as how much distance from walls both combustible and noncombustible materials?

There should be a label on the back of the stove that gives clearance info, as well as all the UL test data, etc... If the label is missing, it's an "Uncertified" stove, and you may not be able to legally install it with ANY clearances. At best, if it's uncertified, you would have to use the generic distances in the NFPA, which tend to put it out in the middle of a large room... (You may find it better to use a newer stove...)

Your stove look like this?

Dave_1,

I had the single door version of that stove for 26 years. What a creosote monster. My father in-law had the double door and got to the point where he was afraid to light it. It burned way hot!

We had one of those back in the 70's. It did a good job considering that it was located in a horrible location for heat distribution.

Seems to me that the clearances were around 30 or 36 inches but I could be wrong.
