Start of my pellet stove

[jerl77]

I am going to have the up pipe in the house 5 feet then shoot it out the side of my house I don't want to look at that pipe on the outside of the house
And I love the look of the black pipe inside

That's fine. Plus a little more heat from that pipe (it does get quite warm) will stay in the house. Just watch your clearances to soffit, upstairs windows etc. There is a gap inside the thimble between the thimble wall and the pipe. I filled mine with roxul insulation as where I live it gets very cold and without that I would have condensation issues. Roxul does not burn so it is fine to use for this. Also carefully sealed the thimble face plate on both the inside and out.

Up and out almost never has smoke in house,unless hard wind hitting the house on that side,while power went out.I see no mention of on OAK?Also,if you have never cut into a wall,reccomend ask a friend who has for advise/help.

A oak will be installed
Cutting into the wall is easy part
Mounting and sealing the thimble is where I am confused
Some say our insulation right up to the thimble
Others say leave that space open so the thimble can breathe

most thimbles need/require a box framework.Most do not allow insulation in the airspace around where the pipe slides through,will be listed in the instructions.

You want insulation right up to the thimble all around. leaving a gap is only a heat loss plus you will have condensation issues when it gets cold. The purpose of the thimble is to keep the hot pipe away from any combustible part of the wall.

Looks like you are going to use duravent,so non-flammable insulation is approved,such as rockwool.Mine has none,as the space around the pipe is my oak.

Any tips to installing the pipe and Thimble?



Measure twice or three times cut once. Don't forget to check for studs location

I really like that hearth pad, and leaves an intact floor if it ever gets taken up.

can you tell me where you got it?

I bought it from my stove dealer here in Pa..pricey but I paid 145.00
I'm sure one can get a variety of pads from any heart shop or online..
they are a standard stove accesory... for example:

Try as many different pellets as you can and see what burns best for your set up.
