We do not recommend placing the stove inside the fireplace, as it would
be difficult to access the control levers, load the stove, and much of the
heat radiating off the stove would not circulate into the room.
The preferred method for installing a stove in front of a fireplace is by
running a stainless steel ‘flex’ liner down the chimney, connecting it to the
stove at the fireplace. Chimneys with large flues should be re-lined to
achieve proper draft. If the chimney does not have a flue tile or if the tile
is cracked or compromised, an additional insulating material must be
used.
It is important that there be a secure connection between the stove
and the flue liner. It is NOT acceptable to simply install a plate in
front of the fireplace and run a stovepipe through it. The stove pipe
must connect with the liner for a continuous outlet to the top of your
chimney.
Stainless steel flex liner kits come in a variety of lengths and are
readily available. These kits include a flexible stainless steel pipe, tee
with snout & clean out, a block-off plate for the top of the chimney
and a cap. Please contact Woodstock Soapstone Company for more
information on these kits. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFAC-
TURER’S SPECIFIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
If the fireplace surround is clad in wood trim, the proper clearance
to a combustible will need to be maintained. Please refer to the
clearance charts. An unprotected wood mantel needs to be a mini-
mum of 30” from the top of the stove. If a mantel shield is installed
that clearance can be reduced to 12”.
DO NOT VENT YOUR WOOD STOVE THROUGH A FACTORY
BUILT FIREPLACE UNLESS IT IS SPECIFICALLY LISTED FOR
SUCH AN INSTALLATION . Most factory-built fireplace chimney
systems are only rated to 1,700° F, which is not sufficient for a free-
standing wood burning stove.
FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
Your Woodstock Soapstone stove must be set on an approved hearth or floor protection.
The hearth protects your floor from two hazards:
• Heat Transfer: Heat radiation from the bottom, front, and sides of the woodstove
• Ember Protection: Sparks and hot coals that may fall out during ash removal and
reloading of firewood
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WOODSTOCK SOAPSTONE STOVE ON A COM-
BUSTIBLE SURFACE (WOOD, CARPET, LAMINATE, OR VINYL, FOR EXAMPLE).
