Iâm thinking of knocking out a 4 foot length of wall, and building out a small recessed alcove just big enough to accommodate a woodstove (space is tight). Two questions:
1. What might be the ideal (heat/fire resistant) materials to use in constructing the 3 walls surrounding the stove?
2. Any woodstove brands you are pleasantly familiar with that I should check out?
My stove criteria:
{ Not a fireplace, a good quality ($ not a big factor), not stonewalled (for quick heating/cooling), non-catalytic, glass door, heating area capable (c.900-1200sq/ft), good sized firebox, nice looking, (letâs face it) The Perfect Freaking Stove.}
As always: Overwhelmingly, falling down, grateful to all!!
