I wish I would have known that. But that's good that it is a bolt on item, and I can add it on later. I did explain to them that I wanted to encourage convection to the upstairs since this is a split level and the stove will be on the lower level facing the stairwell. Would basement sides help me to accomplish that?HandFire wrote: ↑Tue. Mar. 02, 2021 5:36 pmThe living room sides form fit over the fins of the stove and have vents. The basement sides stand off roughly 2 1/2" leaving a large air gap for maximum convection. They used to be both available in red and black. If this stove is in a living area you definitely want to cut down that convection. No matter either way because you can purchase the basement sides. They are a bolt on item.
The room we are talking about is on the larger side, and seating is at least 15 ft away.
