For Comfort & Warmth!
Depending on the type of unit that you choose, new production methods of gas stoves have allowed for the unit to sit anywhere from 6” to 2” from a combustible rear or side wall! Making a gas stove a great option in terms of heating capacity vs. required usable space in the home. It is always best to check with manufacturer guidelines and an installation professional to make sure you have safety located a unit.
During the fall and winter months when the fireplace is most in demand, even though electronic ignition systems allow for the turn off/on of the pilot with ease, in our climate it can be very risky to let the unit sit stagnant in regards to cold weather and increased moisture which enter through the fresh air portion of the venting at all times. Don't forget, without your pilot light the inside of your unit is the same temperature as the outside! Over exposure to these temperatures can cause the pilot to seize and fail when you really need it the most.
