What is the minimum clearance allowed bewtween a free standing gas stove/fireplace and a wooden lintel?
Is your stove vented or non-vented? With a vented stove,freestanding you will have to put some type of fire resistant material on the wall and floor if it is wood,carpet,tile,etc. The clearance is as little as 2 inches. If stove is unvented and you wish to put into a mantel or other wooden enclose the new stoves are usually zero clearance meaning you can put the box right up to the wood. Call the 1-800-numbmer on the box and ask them to make sure. All stoves have excellent customer service people. Good luck.Check with the manufacture. It may be as little as 3/4". by cobblejoe
Well I honestly think that you should refer that question to the fireplace manufacturer for correct guidance as every case will be different. I have a gas log fire ( enclosed ) with a canopy and the clearance between the top of my canopy and the wooden mantelpiece is 115mm ( four and a half inches ) and that was within the manufacturers recommendation. However, your situation may be entirely different. by MICHAEL P
