[Stoves] Heating unit or cooking stove INSIDE a home?

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dick Gallien and all stovers,

Dick has asked about a cooking or heating stove INSIDE his residence.  If a
cookstove was built from scratch or even altered from an existing
stove, would it even be allowed inside of an American residence?  What about
the safety checks and permits and insurance questions?  These are serious
restrictions!!  Anyone have specific info on this??

I heard that in Alaska there is a difference between heating units and cooking
units being allowed inside homes in rural areas.  True elsewhere?

The Reed-based cookstove belonging to a Ward, Colorado, family (but now
moved closed to Denver) has a great cooking surface, but no oven.  Did they
ignore restrictions, or were exempt if the stove was a special prototype for
them only and not for sale??
