Just bought jotul rangeley and going to install it in basement . I have block walls and going to lay brick over block behind stove how close can I put stove to
Brick?
The clearance requirement to the nearest combustible. If there is nothing combustible behind the stove then it can go right up to the brick, though I would leave some wiggle room for service, especially if it has a blower.
Yeah there is only 6" of clearance between the corner of my stove in my unfinished basement and the block wall. No worries. Usually the problem with stoves in basements with 8 foot ceilings is clearance between the pipe and the ceiling/joists depending on how high up the thimble is located in the wall.
We have a f55. Love it. We have an alcove install and it's surprising even at peak burn how cool our stone stays behind and to the sides of the stove. Of course we have a 1" air gap and met or exceeded all req.
you should have no worries. When in doubt err on the side of caution.
