A wood stove fireplace is a good source of heat when you are spending the majority of your time in one part of the house. The best place for a wood stove fireplace is in a room where people spend a great deal of time during the coldest winter days.

Heating an Open Room

Most new houses feature large rooms that are open along the front of the house. It is not uncommon to have a kitchen, dining room, and living room without any walls to separate them from one another. This design can be difficult to keep warm if you are only using a single wood stove fireplace. If you want to get the most from your fireplace in a large room, the best place to put it is in the middle of the open space. The heat will radiate out from the stove in all directions, which will make it easier to keep the whole room warmer.

Ventilation Concerns

A wood stove fireplace required good ventilation to keep you safe while the fire is burning. There are many variables that can cause wood fires to smoke more. If the wood is not seasoned properly, or is a little damp, a fire can produce large amounts of smoke. It is important to place the fireplace in an area of the house where it has easy access to an outdoor section of the roof. If you put a wood stove fireplace on the bottom floor of a two story house, you will need to make sure the ventilation shaft runs all the way through both floors and out of the house.

Rooms with Less Furniture

Wood stove fireplaces can get extremely hot when they have been burning for a few hours. It is important to put them in areas of the room away from other furniture. Sofas and chairs can begin to smolder if they are exposed to high levels of concentrated heat for too long. Leave a wide area around the fireplace so that there is no danger of sparks flying and causing accidental fires. Every time you add more wood to the fire you run the risk of causing dangerous sparks.
