    Building heat exchanger insert

    Hello, this is my first post. Found this forum while searching around for advice on how air flows around the house and how inserts work etc. I have two main questions at this time. A little background. I like to build things as that's what I do. And Inserts are crazy expensive, so I built...

    Discolouration patch on glass

    Hello! I noticed a discoloured patch on the glass. It almost has rainbow tones to its edges. I’m not sure of the correct term for it. My questions are - will it just go away? - if not, how do I remove it (hoping it isn’t permanent)? - how do I prevent it again? For context, it only showed...

    Hello All, I was hoping to pick the community's brain on proper install for some replacement glass inserts I just had made for my older wood burning insert (1979 Phoenix Manufacturing wood-burning insert).

    What have you done to your stove/chimney today?

    I checked the top of the stove for straightness and cleaned out the firebox and gave my stove a thorough inspection from the outside while checking seams and welds. From the inside via the firebox and the throat, I checked welds, looked for corrosion, and assessed the condition of the baffle. I...

    Fun Fire Fireplace

    Hello, I've been looking for an inexpensive used wood stove in my area. I found this one offered for $200 and think it would be great. The firebox is made of glass and should give off nice light in my basement and I'd like being able to see the fire. If it is/was a great stove, I'd expect...

    I believe this is some helpful information for some of us who may have difficulty learning how to use a clean burning stove properly. This information has helped us. There was a learning curve with our new stove. We are getting consistent clean burns. I think a clean burning stove is only as...

    Three barrel stove? Draft issues? Glass door or window?

    Hey, guys. I'm looking into putting a new barrel stove in my shop. There's an old one in there made from one of those old fuel barrels people used to have in their basements, but it's not in the best shape. I was really wanting to do the double barrel thing. The current location of the...

    Jotul F3 CB Glass Air Leak

    I recently replaced the door and glass gaskets on my Jotul F3 CB. The Dollar bill test works great on the door, but not on the glass. The glass is held by two clips, one on each side of the glass. When I do the dollar bill test the glass is very tight on the sides, but it fails on the top an...

    I'm doing my first full replacement of gaskets on a Vermont Castings Intrepid II I bought used some years ago.

    We bought a house with a Surdiac 513 last year and it is AMAZING. Only problem is that his summer two of the small glass panels got broken. The owner's manual says not to run the stove with broken glass (makes sense) but not how to replace them. I purchased new glass and am ready to go, but I...
