Are there any special clearances for a pellet stove? Are they the same or similar as a wood stove?
Anyone care to shed some light? Kerri |

Clearances for all uncertified wood burners are the same but each certified stove has its own set of clearances as determined by testing at its highest firing rate. Pellet stove clearances to combustibles are usually a fair bit less than regular wood stoves Check in the manual or for a lable on the stove.

Of course, as the others have said above, check with the manufacturer's installation manual for the particular model, or there may be a sticker on the rear of the stove. If info isn't available, many manufacturers have manuals on their web sites. Here's some prominent manufacturers. http://www.quadrafire.com/index.asp . http://www.envirofire.biz/ . http://www.harmanstoves.com/ .

According to the International Residential Code, the code that applies to stoves is the manufacturer's printed recommendations. Those are, as was said, developed under testing, and listed in the Installation Manual for each product. There is no one set of clearances that applies generally to all stoves.

pellet stoves need quality wood pellets
As for clearances for a pellet stove you can ask your local distributor |
