How to Choose the Best Location for Your Stove
The first step in purchasing your new stove is determining where you want it installed. Before you decide, take a moment to consider the layout of your home and the intended application for your new stove. Both can have an impact on what stoves are available to you during the selection process. Many stoves have location restrictions, so let's examine the options below.
- Indoor: Indoor stoves are installed directly inside your home rather than outdoors. These stoves are the most common and offer many fuel types and styles.
- Outdoor: An outdoor stove is installed outdoors and directs heat into your home. Like indoor stoves, outdoor stoves offer many fuel and venting choices.
- Bathroom: Installing a stove in a certain room is a great way to ensure proper heating where you need it most. You can install a bathroom-approved stove safely in your bathroom.
- Bedroom: Some stoves are approved for use in the bedroom. While you can only install some stoves in a bedroom, many models are available in various fuel types. Installing only approved stoves in a sleeping area is crucial so they can operate safely.
- Mobile Home: Not all stoves can safely operate inside a mobile home, but many manufacturers offer mobile home options. These stoves are available in various fuel types but are less common than standard stoves. Mobile home-approved stoves are typically permanently attached to the home and use outside air for combustion.
