Lookin good
 
Backup battery needed? I don't want smoke in the house I would only need the power to shut the stove down until I get my generator hooked up
You think it's worth having ?

It sure don't hurt to use a UPS.
 
I would go at least 1000 VA, 1500 VA if you don't mind spending the extra money too buy you more time
 
Tile looks good... Make sure you get your cords out of the way and position the hearth to it's final position. Don't want to add more weight and then try to move it around!
 
It's getting there all cords will be moved to other outlet behind the tv
Going to need some help moving this thing
Ordered the pipe
Any tips to installing the pipe and Thimble?

Very nice
But I want to see the pipe in the house come up the wall about 4 feet and then 90 degrees out of the house.
Any tips on going thought the wall ?
Do I insulated around the thimble?

Do you plan to still use those baseboard heaters? Blocking them like that at the bottom where they draw air by convection can be a fire hazard. The units can over heat. Also dirt and dust can accumulate as well and would be difficult to clean. Personally I would remove them completely, however perhaps disabling them so they can't get turned on would be wise. ie: lock out breaker.
 
Yes the baseboard will be used when the stove is not on there will be some room between the baseboard and stove hearth. And those are water filled baseboards I use here in ny
Was thinking about re looping them but that is a lot more work lol

They are radiators then, I thought they were electric. In that case you will be fine, perhaps a crevice tool for the vacuum as dirt will get back there.
 
What about smoke coming into the house when the power goes out ?

If you install the exhaust of the stove straight up then natural draft will help prevent this. Mine goes out the wall then up 6 feet. Also you could get a UPS which would only work if you are home as it would die with the stove still running if you weren't.
