The Forest Oak Box Stove is an impressive stove in both stature and functionality. Standing at over two feet in height, this jet black stove can handle a 32" long piece of wood. The wood is loaded from the front door and the hearth features both a draft control and a built in ash clean out area. A large cooklid rests on top of the stove. The design work on both sides of the stove and on the front door is early Victorian in style. The Forest Oak Box Stove is a classic.

Heating Stove Installation
Antique Wood-Burning Heating Stove:
Installation guidelines desrcibed on this page have been provided by the National Fire Protection Association. The NFPA standards are the basis for many local codes. These guidelines state that a wood-burning stove, heating stove must be located a mimimum of 36 inches from unprotected woodwork and other combustible materials or furniture. The addition of a heat shield or other protective devices, to the wall or the stove, allows a reduction of those distances by 50% to a distance of 18 inches from a combustible wall and 9 inches from a noncombustible wall. The wood-burning stove needs to be vented. This is done through a class-A, double-walled chimney.
Antique Heating Stove with a Gas Conversion:
An antique heating stove with a gas conversion must conform to the clearances for a wood-burning stove (above), maintaining a minimum distances of 9 inches from a non-combustible wall when a heat shield is in place. The converted heating stove needs to be vented. This is done through a class-B, single-walled chimney. Set ups to Propane (LPG) and Natural Gas available on all models. With a gas conversion the total BTU ranges from 28,000 to 45,000.
Antique Heating Stove with an Electric Conversion?
An antique heating stove with an electric conversion must conform to the clearances for a wood-burning stove (above), maintaining a minimum distances of 9 inches from a non-combustible wall when a heat shield is in place. The eletcric converted heating stove does NOT need to be vented. With a gas conversion the maximum BTU output is 38,000.
What does a proper stove installation look like?
All heating stoves must be placed a minimum of 36 inch from combustible surfaces or 18" from non-combustible surfaces. The addition of a heat shield reduces these distances by one-half. Allow a one-inch clearance between rear wall and protective, non-combustible materials for air circulation. Allow at least 18" between the top of the chimney protector and the ceiling or other combustible material.
