No sense mentioning safety, it is the last thing on this guy's mind. When he starts giving advice, hit the "Page Down"

Here's one of his gems.

Hello

My friend gave me a great idea! This was his 1st draft! See pic below:

This would change this 55 lb hopper to atleast a 95 lb hopper!

Now wait before you say that is wood and combustible, let's think this one out.

You could use heavy gauge steel and weld the corners. Also have to notch the bottom.
But that is no longer an easy home project.

So how about using plywood covered with aluminum flashing?

Or

How about Cement Board covered with aluminum flashing for protection against chipping and is fire resistant?

Now do you have any comments?

 

[briansol]

nice.

 

[billb3]

isn't pressure treated wood inside also a bad idea?

Not a good idea for a cutting board or a countertop, but in moisture conditions ( like on cement ) in a wet environment to thwart rot and termites is kinda the whole purpose of treating the wood in the first place.

That extension came with the stove when I bought it.

All the water comes from the snow on the snow blower. LOL

It pools in that one spot! any ideas? ? ?

Yup, not put the snow blower in there, especially since you have an open flame in there now

I agree, I need a shed now to put the snow blower.

Leave it outside?

Park it on a floor mat?

Fix your floor so it's not sloped to the walls?!... I'd imagine the sole plate and walls are getting wet too?

I would have probably just put the stove on the tiles right on the floor and called it good. If the water is getting more than tile deep there are other issues!

Hello

I am displaying a stove and showing what type of hearths that I can build. A water proof raised hearth may be good for a basement.

Just put the 1st coat of Gull Wing gray on it.

Don lives in cowhampshire... They really don't care much about what people do up there, live free or die baby!

“Cow Hampshire” was a term coined at the University of New Hampshire, when reportedly there were more cows than people in New Hampshire. That is 2 words but no longer the case and that is what it means Scott.

"Live Free or Die" is the official motto of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, adopted by the state in 1945.
It is possibly the best-known of all state mottos, partly because it speaks to an assertive independence historically found in American political philosophy and partly because of its contrast to the milder sentiments found in other state mottos.

Now that we have those terms cleared up. The hearth is for sale and there is No Sales Tax. We learned something from your "Boston Tea Party" ! ! LOL

Have you figured out what your K value of the hearth is....hate to see a tough MA Inspector shut you down

 

[Don2222]

Hello

Well, the hearth is in the intended spot. Now I have to make the stove worthy of it. LOL

 

[Don2222]

Have you figured out what your K value of the hearth is....hate to see a tough MA Inspector shut you down

The top is 1/2" of cement board with porcalin tiles on it. That far exceeds the required K value, but I am not worried about MA inspectors crossing state lines. LOL! ! !

 

[smoke show]

We get the point!

 

[Defiant]

Whoa, whoa, Don you are making me dizzy, STOP

 

[DexterDay]

Wow... You either really want to get the point across, 8 times

Or you can't work a smartphone

 

[smoke show]

Or you can't work a smartphone

I can't either and I've never done that.

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

Delete them Don I think you have the power.

 

[Don2222]

It Works!

Look under your last post what does it say after your handle?

Hey Smokey

You are correct! Thanks

has anyone of you ever seen a torch used on a vehicle in a garage..? You all panic over a fart in the wind. Vapers will explode yes gas will ignite AFTER the vapers. If you gas tank leaks get it fixed now, its a safety hazard to drive. your gas cans stored in a garage with a furnace is dangerous, and that includes your lp/ng furnaces as they have a flame in a thin metal box, water heater you all get the idea..... now run and panic while I cut some shocks off an old truck in a warm garage.

 

[Defiant]

DirtyDave are you a safety inspector or work for OSHA by any chance?
