About location and ventilation of pellet stoves

Compared to more traditional types of heating appliances such as wood burning stoves, pellet stoves require much less installation space for safe use, and can be installed with as little as three inches of clearance between the stove and the wall, depending on the specific stove in question.

Of course, a pellet stove does need to be installed a safe distance from flammable materials, such as drapes, doors, and carpets. It is advisable that the pellet stove rest on a non-flammable surface, such as a hearth pad.
                                                                                                                              Pellet stoves utilize a power-venting system. Because of this, a pellet stove can be installed anywhere in the home, as long as you can include at least three feet of vertical space for the chimney.

The stainless steel lined chimney is usually three or four inches in diameter, and can be installed through your ceiling, walls, or even an existing chimney left behind by a previous heating application.
