I have finally have my wood stove going as I speak its 12am EST. Seems to be doing well the secondaries seem to be working after 30 minutes.
Installed single walled pipe inside and double through the attic and roof. Ofcourse an attic insulation shield with a chimeney cap lol.
Built the hearth pad to accomodate a larger wood stove just in case 66†x 66â€. I really would like the Progress Hybrid but we’ll see.
Well I’ll keep you all updated I know I was a little late starting but nonetheless it is done. And thanks again to everyone that has helped
me out and all the valuable info on the forums and to the mods THANK YOU. Good night.

Chopernator

pics tomorrow I hope. lol

Well tomorrow never comes…so here are some pics this took me longer than expected cause of work and all. This was my
first time laying tile down so dont criteec it too bad lol…spelling. Started burning on the 29th on November. Not to bad being
a smaller stove about mid way down from the house (ranche) the temp is around 72 to 74 degrees. Our bedroom is at a cool 66. I
have a fan blowing near the stove to circulate the heat but being a smaller stove what do you expect. A 2000 sqft home
with a 1500 or so stove. This was such a load off of my shoulders having the hearth finished I am so relieved you have no
idea. But here you go as promised. Oh the last pic is of my dog that passed away last Nov. She always stayed by my
side whenever I was out splitting or doing whatever, we miss you molly. 11 years with me. Thanks.

Either the date on your camera is way off, or I've been drinking a lot more than I thought.

Thank ya, thank ya Just decided to make it larger
in case I do purchase a larger wood stove in which case I will be. Always think and plan ahead.....
 
Bigger is better mine is 4*6 ft way overkill and better yet the wife hates it. :lol: She wouldn't give up the wood heat though lol.
