Hi all
After much looking around at woodstoves and daily lurking the hearth forums this newb has decided on a fireview,now being a newb and
knowing not much about the install of the stove, chimney etc just want to make sure I am on the right path.
My house is a 1,400 sq.ft. ranch built in 58 newer windows,doors,attic insulated,walls whatever was done in 58,guess not much.
The fireview will go in front of our current fireplace in the living room,the chimney is exterior with clay liner in good shape.
1.The liner is 7"by11" woodstock says may be alittle tight for insulated liner,I ran a 7" dowel on a pole up the liner and it squeaks by at least as far
as I could reach.Woodstock also said I could use perlite if insulated liner a no go,what opinions do you folks have.Ok to go uninsulated?.
2.How much clearance do you need to operate the controls,I figured going 10" from the fireplace opening but if I can go closer and save some floorspace
that makes the wife happy.
3.For Todd if you happen by and dont mind.I remember reading you had a fireview and then changed to a keystone any particular reason , I do like
the looks of the keystone just thought the bigger fireview may be better for me but could be talked into a keystone easy enough
A big thanks to all of you who are always posting away,learn alot and makes it all seem doable for us soon to be woodburners.
