I can't find solid fuel burning appliances in the CMC or CRC.......specifically wood stove installations.

I know it is there and am frustrated. AG calls at 1:30 pm wanting code sections for hearing on Tuesday. :banghd

Help, please.....!?!

Glad I do not have to try out the calif code

Maybe no code section

WOOD-BURNING STOVES AND FIREPLACES

Wood stoves and factory-built wood-burning fireplaces must be installed according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Wood stoves usually have a specification plate attached to the back that gives the required clearances from combustibles and floor protection. If no plate is present and no installation instructions are available, the stove cannot be installed in the City of San Bruno.

Sue:

It's in the Green Code, check section 4.503:

California 2010 GBC said:
4.503.1 General. Any installed gas fireplace shall be adirect-vent sealed-combustion type. Any installed woodstove

or pellet stove shall comply with U.S. EPA Phase II emission

limits where applicable. Woodstoves, pellet stoves and fireplaces

shall also comply with applicable local ordinances.
 
Thanks all. Found what I was looking for - CMC 2010 Section 924.3 Room Heaters. CA - much thanks for the green code section!

sue,

table 3-2 also has some of what you are looking for if it is an unlisted appliance. You can use domestic incinerator or room heater if you like.
