It also may be fire code issues
Commercial stoves are designed to have commercial fans/ventilation.
And require commercial extinguishers

Ya
I know about the Regs.
I am what they call a Special Inspector and have been for 35 years now.
When I put my Wood Stove in my Bedroom I built up in Arizona I put 1 inch of Durarock behind the the stove on 2 walls that will have some kind of tile or rock attached to it.
I have a good friend up there that put the same brand of Commercial Stove in his home.
He came over to help me with a project and I showed him my room.
He freaked out and told me that he had never seen anyone put 1 inch of Concrete board behind a Wood Stove.
Then he told me that he retired as a Forest Fire Safety Guy.
I plan on doing the same thing behind this Stove in the kitchen I am building along with a fan vented Stove Hood.
Think you and I came out of the same mold !
When I built my house only had help when I rough framed it in I did all the other work myself ! Wood stove put 1" Durarock behind the stove then put stone also on the floor put cement board then slate....building inspector came and would not pass the work HE wanted a commercially made fireplace NOT one I built....there is nothing in the Township or State building Code at that time outer than you must do set backs according to the manufacture .....when the Township was given Court papers that they were being Sued Head of the Building Department showed up the next day and gave me outside my home a Final Inspection never looked at the work passed and a refund check for the permit....
I have a Miele 8 burner commercial stove, refrigerator, under the counter refrigerator and dishwasher I bought from a wholesale store used a friends restaurants name didn't have a problem but they would only deliver to my attached garage not into the house....got tired of buying the junk sold every where else....
I built my 299sq. ft bedroom in my front yard here in Commyfornia.
Code Enforcement was taking pictures thinking I was adding on to my home with no permit.
The bedroom would be standing tall some days and them laying out of site from the street other days.
Code enforcement was caught by my neighbor scratching their heads wondering where the addition went.
I made it Sectional like a kit.
Picket it up with an auto crane that I installed on my goose neck trailer and hauled the bedroom in 2 loads up to my place in Arizona.
It took me a total of 2 days to have it up and roofed in Arizona.
My wood Stove I built is to big for that small room and there was a learning curve on how big of a fire I needed.
It has a 1/2" thick plate for the top because that is what I had on hand. It Pops Great popcorn on it.
I also have a Funnel for the bottom with a 4" pipe running outside the room to clean the ashes.
I picket up the Stove and put it inside the room with the crane before I put the roof on.
I did all of this with no help from anyone.
The only help I may have got was my girl holding the end of a tape
The bedroom is now about 80% complete with knotty pine walls A/C Power , pressurized water (soon to have well water) , Large shower , Tank less Water Heater, Composting Toilet , Microwave , Coffee maker , Small Refrigerator/Freezer , Solar Power and a ceiling fan.
All the work was done by myself
No Code Enforcement and no BS Building Dept.
At the time I built it Arizona did not require Permits for any building up to 300 sq ft.
My Bedroom is 299 sq. ft, on the out side.
I have a 120 sq. ft room that I will add on another 180 sq. ft for my Kitchen keeping it at the 300 sq. ft or less range so that I can tell Code Enforcement to get off of my property.
I will have a Tile floor and have 1" Concrete Hardy Board and tile behind and around my Stove when I get everything all finished. That will be move than any Commercial cooking facility has for their fire protection.
As a Building Inspector my self I have had to deal with these Azz Clowns for over 35 years and I want nothing to do with them when I leave Commyfornia for good.
