Sketch out a plan for installing the stove including dimensions
before permanent placement. When determining the location
for the stove, wall stud location is critical.You may need to adjust
the location of the stove to avoid trying to vent through a wall
stud. Before placing the pellet stove, connect the vent and allow
for minimum clearance to combustible walls.
