#1 Preferred method
This method provides excellent venting for nor- mal operation and allows the stove to be installed closest to the wall. Two inches from the wall is safe; however, four inches allows better access to remove the rear panel. The vertical portion of the vent should be three to five feet high. This vertical section will provide natural draft in the event of a power failure.
#2 Preferred method
This method also provides excellent venting for normal operation but requires the stove to be installed farther from the wall. The vertical portion of the vent should be three to five feet high and at least three inches from a combustible wall. This vertical sec- tion will provide natural draft in the event of a power failure.
If the stove is installed below grade the vent termination should be at least 1 foot above grade.
CAUTION
Keep combustible materials (such as grass, leaves, etc.) at least 3 feet away from the flue outlet on the outside of the building.
