Hi Guys,
I've got a simple clearance question for you guys and I believe I'm over-thinking things. Say I have a stove that the manufacturer has deemed a "back" clearance of 30" is necessary (without protection). When measuring from the back of the stove for instance, obviously straight back 30" would be a standard measurement (see line C in my diagram). However, I am assuming that I would also have to measure 90 degrees up from the highest point on the back and any combustibles would have to be 30" away from that point as well (see lines A & B in my diagram). Is my assumption correct?
The reason I ask is that if I am mistaken I won't have to put up a giant heat shield to reduce the clearance to 12".
Thanks,
Todd
