Does anyone have any insight into whether windows (more or less floor to ceiling windows) have different code clearance requirements than combustible walls? I have a large great room -- high cathedral ceilings, skylights, a real problem to heat -- and would like, if the clearances work, to put in a large stove, e.g. Jotul F600, the new 2-in-1 VC Defiant, maybe a Woodstock. But there is no large expanse of wall -- it's windows every foot or so. Stove placement in the middle of the room won't work for other reasons, it needs to be a corner install or one parallel to the wall.
I see nothing in typical installation manuals treating windows differently from combustibles (other than that, for pellet stoves, you can't put an outside pellet vent near a window that can open, for obvious reasons), but I have gotten different answers from stove shops re whether this will work. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
