NC-13 install

Well, after months and months of research and measuring I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I purchased my stove and manufactured home chimney kit through Home Depot, double wall stove pipe from Northline Express.

I was most nervous about putting in the support box, but everything went great. I have finished the frame of the hearth, and put the first layer of plywood down.

To meet the high r-value requirement of this stove I'm using two layers of 5/8 mglass; a fiberglass coated gypsum board. Then two layers of durock, and tile on top. Mglass layer is .59, and durock is .41. The mglass was only 21.00 for a 4x8 sheet.

I have all my materials, except tile. Now I just need the time to finish it.

Here are a few pictures. A big thanks to this forum and it's members. I've done tons of reading and researching on here.


I was pretty nervous cutting my roof open!


The subfloor wasn't level so I had to use some shims.

What exact product is the matt glass gypsum board? I've never used it but I see that GlasRoc is rated noncombustible when tested in accordance with ASTM E136. It's rated R=.57 in 5/8" sheets, or .45 in 1/2" sheets. Durock NexGen is rated R=.39 for 1/2" sheets.

Here is the product website and info. I was able to find it locally stocked at a drywall supply company.

They give m-glass the same ASTM E136 rating of non-combustible. Thermal Resistance “R” Value 1/2” = 0.50, 5/8” = 0.61

Oops you're correct, it's .61...it was late when I was posting. And the 1/2 inch durock is .39

Making some progress. Gypsum board and durock installed. Ready for tile.

UPDATE: Well I've been busy with other things and haven't had time to work on the hearth. But, put in some hours this weekend.





I'm no tile pro by any means, so it took me a while and a few messed up pieces. But, got it sorta figured out. Now I just need to thin set and grout it.

Well I got the hearth finished up, now all I need is help from the neighbor to put the stove on there, then attach the pipe.

Finally finished the install. Glad we have a cold front moving through this weekend so I can use the stove.

I had the doors and windows open to clear out the fumes from the smoke, but yes, later when we closed things down it was very toasty.
