Woodstoves...AND insurance companies

dayvsea · 11-04-2016, 07:22 PM

New camp has two wood stoves installed. Chimney was designed for them in the 80's. Thimbles in the side of the chimney, brick pad for Fisher stove, brick course covering wall to 4'. Same thing in the basement opposite side of chimney. Separate flue. I'm getting a boatload of pushback when I try to get a policy written by various agents. Not that they have mentioned anything specific about this particular setup, just the targeting of wood stoves in general..Our last camp had a Franklin from 1890, used it everyday in the colder nights/sessons for 30 years, issue free.. Anyone have any info that would be helpful?
