    I was told by guy I'm about to buy a stove from that it must be at least 18 inches if a gap either side of the stove if a timber fireplace is in place.

    I wonder though if the stove is fully inset into the fireplace does this apply?

    Never heard of this before although I have a stove in kitchen. Anyone any ideas on this ?

    Hi Paddy 2012
    Here are some details for you.

    When determining what stove will fit into your fireplace you most follow the following guidelines:
    1) You must have a gap of 150mm each side of the stove to non combustible materials and 230mm if there are combustible materials to the side.
    2) You must have 230mm above the stove to non combustible materials and 460mm above the stove if there is combustible materials (for example wood)
    3) You must position the stove at least 50mm from the back of the stove to the back wall.
    4) Your hearth Must extend at least 225mm in front of the stoves firebox.
    5) You Must also ensure that if your stove has a greater output than 5kw you must have an air vent in the room venting out to an external air source
