This is my first time posting in a forum so I hope I am doing this right and my pics turn out ok. I am posting this just to ask if anyone else has a wood stove like this and if so what their preferences are about how they run it to get the most out of the stove. I installed this unit last year with the help of a friend of mine who works with me. He was the “brains” of the operation since he had prior experience working for a chimney sweep. Since he did this install he has started his own business part time. He tells me I was his first customer lol.
Ok so how we installed it was we utilized a old oil furnace chimney that was in a central location in the basement of the house. We used a tile crusher to remove all the clay tile from the chimney so a insulated stainless steel liner would fit since that’s what the stove manufacturer recommended. We used a T kit at the thimble to attach the rest of the single wall pipe to the stove. I have a heat deflector at the top of the pipe where my floor joists are since I didn’t have the clearance that I needed.
This stove was installed after I removed a old Craft Stove insert that was in my basement utilizing a exterior chimney. The Craft Stove was not producing the BTU’s that I needed so I decided to install this new stove that is capable of heating my 2400 square foot home. This will be my second season with this stove, last season was a successful one burning wood that I split myself from tree removals at a part time job of mine. If anyone has questions or comments about this stove please comment or message me, I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
