Hi, I have read through many articles in this forum and know
it is no good for the stove to face a bedroom door or main
door. However what about yard door? When I mention facing
here, basically the person standing in front of the stove is
back facing the yard door and facing a concrete wall (the
stove has a concrete wall backing). Thanks for your advice in
advance.

1. The critical concern for a stove at the back of the home is to visual whether any "expected" high-pressure low-pressure situations occur usually before heavy rains start.

2. This is particuarly true for terrace homes where the openings are at the front of the home and the backyard side.

3. Thus the question asked is "how will changing air-pressures" have on the stove ie. extinguish the flame and let gas continue to flow dangeriously on or let the flame "shoot" out dangerously from the side or towards the front towards the operatior.

4. When all these considerations are looked at; we try also to see whether the stove can match the ba zi of the female breadwinner of the home. For example; for a west group person; ideal is say the stove sitting at east facing west (or westerly) direction.

5. Any doors such as the yard door, or windows or window panels which may channel wind prior to a rain storm has to be looked at. And this is the main concern for a stove a the back of the home (not withstanding things like avoid stove at the NW sector).
