I read your post on 2/26/11 and noticed you have a Avalon Astoria Pellet stove installed in your basement. I am considering doing the same with the same stove.
We have a 2 story colonial with a finished attic and a centered stairway.
My biggest concern is that the best place to vent the stove is under our deck.
The installer/retailer said the manufacture specs note ok if there is a 2’ clearance to the deck floor and 18†from the
ground (which is a crushed rock pad the same size as the deck-no combustables).
Any comments?
Anyone else have a vent under a deck?
Anyone know of a pellet exterior vent fire not caused by poor maintence?
My insurance agent said if the manufacture says ok, its ok.
Our local fire chief did not recommend it, but no codes violated if done to specs.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and assistance.
