My living room is rectangular in shape and it looks like we've settled (for now) setting my Woodstock Keystone midway along the long exterior side of the room, vertical flue/chimney going straight-up from the stove, through the roof and out.
The idea here is - rather than put the stove in a corner, it would be nice to have three sides for to everyone to enjoy vs. the front face of the stove when installed in a corner.
To give more front to back distance, I am considering not using the heat shield and letting the stove set out into the room a bit more to give room for heat to get off the stove into the room, but also to make it easier to have a chair or rocker to both sides of the stove for setting (and for decoration).
Anyone have a stove set-up like the above? Have you melted any furniture yet setting close to the stove?
Thanks!
Bill
