To all wood stove owners

Of course you can still realize your concept and then simply leave 1-2 seats unoccupied when the stove is in use, but why limit yourself like that?

Everything you wrote: absolutely correct!

That’s what I meant in my post by "toasty." Although – 60 degrees is about the threshold where a person says "ouch" if they touch it.

This minimum distance also only means: If something is placed at the borderline or farther away and the appliance is operated at maximum power, the object won’t catch fire there (although the smoldering of wool sweaters can occur, which should give the OP something to think about!).

The OP’s concept is nice – but as I said, it doesn’t fit this floor plan / furniture arrangement. It will be a living-room microwave. The sofa will also "appreciate" being constantly heated to 40/50/60 degrees in parts by radiant heat.

A good fireplace studio looks at the situation on site and works out a suitable concept with the future proud stove owner with a suitable stove / placement.

A wood stove is – in my opinion – not an item you should buy on the spur of the moment at the hardware store or only for the looks on the internet. By the way, the stove mentioned by the OP is really good – definitely not cheap goods at around 3,000 euros. The willingness to invest money in the right ballpark is definitely present, that’s good!

I also think the stove doesn't fit there. Because even at the bottom of the plan ... there are about 325 cm from the stove to the wall downwards. If a table is supposed to stand as indicated, and this table is about 180 cm long, then at the top of the plan there are about 70 cm from the edge of the table to the stove. And actually, the table would have to be moved further up on the plan so that the person at the bottom of the plan can still get up properly from the table or so that people can pass by somewhere.

The table fits better when rotated anyway. I would reconsider the large window in the [WZ]. Is it facing south or west? Then you can see that the door will probably remain a wall for now: rotate the sofa, then you can place the TV on the top left of the plan and look into the fireplace with a left turn in parallel. Regarding the window: a narrow one next to the fireplace and a similar one above the basement stairs – then there is also some dynamics in the room. We have it like that now and it is wonderful for watching TV, the garden, and the fireplace from the sofa.

The redesign of the living area a la Yvonne would definitely make sense .. and, if it fits upstairs, the fireplace could also be moved a bit further towards the top of the plan.

@totti: What do you mean by the 50 cm distance? Maybe I'm standing a little on the ladder, but you hardly want to sit, stand, or do anything closer than 50 cm to the fireplace, so the distance shouldn't be a problem, right? To illustrate: I recently bought a Contura 620 and my sofa is about 4 meters away so I can make the most of the ambiance. Deleted... by the way, I found what I was looking for
