Common Questions
Are wood fireplaces still a practical way to heat?

What does clearance to combustibles mean?
It’s the required minimum air space between a heat-producing appliance and any material that can burn. Following the manufacturer’s clearances protects your framing, drywall, and furniture, and The Stove Shop’s NFI-certified installers handle it on every job.
