Woah, so the top chord of your rafter they cut? AND it's only a 2x4? Do you guys get not much snow?

I would have moved the chimney over to go between vs cutting a rafter!

5hrs, not too bad though. The guys that did mine where in and out in about 2.5 hours. It would have took me about that long to find a ladder in my shed!
not 2x4, across the roof. They are cut on a diagonal, for slight pitch for a mostly flat roof. Its kinda hard to explain....but all is well. Chimney is huge, will try and take pics tomorrow. Gonna do a 200 degree burn to start until tomorrow, 300, ect. Will post pics
 
I hope you are as excited for you as I am for you, lol.
 
Thanks everybody. We love it! Got up to 300 closed it down to lower the temp back to 200.
 
Good luck with the new Yotul. Hope you like yours as much as we like ours.

Is that how you say it "Yo Tul"? I always called them "Joe Tol".
Me too, until I called a dealership looking for one, lol. Felt pretty stupid.
 
Very cool Backwoods.
Great looking stove and a clean looking install
 
Looks like a rubber roof? EPDM....
If so, I hope they flashed it right with true rubber flashing or uncured rubber flashing. If they used any asphalt based product to seal with, and if it is a rubber roof. The asphalt will eat the rubber causing it to bubble up and it will leak. Hope I am wrong.

And great looking stove!

Yes, the flashing material was a rubber coated (epdm). I personally sealed it with some left over epdm roll I had left and used the seam tape and lap sealant.

so lame that I actually laughed.
 
Looking great BW... I imagine that with an OAK the Castine will really rip. You might be capable of forging iron, if needed!

... burning the "chord" wood :)


ha ha ha just having some fun Backwoods - that is one great lookin stove there! Bet you were psyched to light that first fire.
 
We really like the stove. Pics aren't the best, but it is nice. Damn curing times are teasing us though. Hopefully a full burn by the weekend.
 
Yep, looks just like I thought it would in your original post. :)
