In the process of installing my new NC-30 I discovered the fan would not fit behind the stove without using some sort of elbow in the stove pipe eliminating my straight shot. To circumvent that bend I took the liberty of modding the fan and building a curved pipe to allow it to hang below the stove.
I also just do not like the gold hardware so I fabbed up a little handle. It is press fit for now to see if it stays cool enough to handle. Once I get the heat test out of the way I will take the door to the shop and tack the handle in place with a couple welds. For those in the know - how hot does the handle get on this stove?
Just waiting for my new 6" Dbl wall stove pipe to show up in the mail and I will fire this thing up and burn off the stink on a cool morning with windows open and fans blowing.
I am also adding onto the brick hearth for a place to stack wood inside w/o the mess and installing tile in the floor out front to meet code. I think I am going to love this stove.
