Woodstock Absolute

[franco robledo]

I’m thinking about upgrading my basements jotul 603 to a Woodstock Absolute and there is a choice of left or right door for loading. There is a steel pole nearby on the right that makes me think it would be on the way. Loading on the left also feels weird because there is a combustible wall nook 40 inches away. Should I just get a Lopi Endevor and call it a day?
Each tile is 6 inches. Here are the dimensions on the absolute:

• Footprint: 25" W x 20" D 

• Overall HxWxD: 33.25" x 30" x 27.5" 
(includes ash lip, skirting & controls)

• Rear Flue Height (Center): 28"
• 
Weight: 490 lbs.

High Style Stoves


• Footprint: 25.5" W x 21.125" D 

• Overall HxWxD: 45.5"x 27" x 25.125" 
(includes ash lip, skirting & controls)

• Rear Flue Height (Center): 40.625"

• Weight: 530 lbs.

You could try a cardboard cutout representing the outer dimensions of the AS. Place it on the floor and see how it fits. A thought.

What would loading on the left have to do with a combustible surface 40" away?

You are right, maybe I worry too much.
