as far as I remember, there is actually a tooltip in-game for how to best put it.
I think I did it like this:
1) stand in your house, with a clear walk to where the stove should be put (nothing in your way, but not too close either! halfway your house should do)
2) bring up the stove shadow (the preview of how it will be built)
3) press shift, and rotate the mousewheel to snap the stove to the grid, as it should be put. release shift
4) place the stove as you would assume it should be.
5) press ctrl, and move the stove ONE click towards the building door. Not TWO, not one to either side, exactly one towards the door.
6) build it. (now you can release ctrl)
7) enjoy your plank steak
