I just had my stove installed, here is the thread...Finally…New BK Install…With Pics. Do to the location of the trusses, it had to be placed 6.5" away from the wall...minimum clearance is 6" with the fan kit installed, which I have. We would like to put stone on the wall behind the stove at some point in the future. The installer told me that the NFPA allows a 30% reduction in clearance if the surface is stone. This would bring the minimum clearance down to about 4.25".
My question is:
Was the installer correct with this information?
If he is correct, does the thickness of the stone have any impact on this? If so, I am limited to stone that is no thicker than 2.25"
