Strengthening wooden joists for 1.5 ton stove

ptk · 2022-10-13T20:32:05+00:00

Planning to install a 1.5-ton stove on a floor with wooden joists and therefore need to reinforce it. There's a basement under the floor. The stove's dimensions are about 500mm deep and 1100mm wide. I want to make the smallest possible intervention, thinking of some form of vertical pillar running from the basement floor to the basement ceiling, but I have no idea how to make such a pillar. What material should be used, what is the procedure? Should it be placed against the stove's outer edge, i.e. 500mm from the wall, or the stove's "center," i.e. 250mm from the wall? Anyone with experience is welcome to share tips and ideas.
