<div class="bbWrapper">Hi, New here.<br /> <br /> Last night I became the proud father of a 602 piglet. And I just could not wait for the weekend to haul the unit to the cottage to see it work. So out came the air conditioner in went the chimeny. A couple of pieces of 2X4 from the basement and Bingo!<br /> <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

<div class="bbWrapper">While I can certainly appreciate the excitement and exuberance in burning it might be worth while to mention to anyone else looking that this is certainly not a permanent installation and would violate more than a few safety practices -- no floor protection, clearance requirements to the stove, stove pipe clearances and improper pass through . . . just in case someone is looking at this and thinking this is a perfectly fine installation.<br /> <br /> Me . . . I think I would have waited for the cottage installation to keep things nice and safe . . . plus I&#039;m pretty lazy and would only want to do one installation. <img src="/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/wink.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Nice! You sound just like me my man- I can&#039;t wait to play with a major toy- which may mean Mickey Mousing and bypassing safety a bit.

<div class="bbWrapper">At Hubert Heating in Ottawa (<a href="http://www.hubertheating.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/talk/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hubertheating.com%2F&amp;hash=9110f11880b55b11bda984ed79285f9e" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.hubertheating.com/</a>) It retails for $1,250 Cnd. But this one is a return with two month usage so I got it for $900. Apparently the original owner has a Victorian house with very high ceilings and windows. And the little unit did not cut it. The dealer suggested installing a ceiling fan but the client hates those so they upgraded to a larger unit and I got lucky.</div>

Rock out when you&#039;re alive and when you die they can bury you in it! ;-)<br /> Nice lookin stove btw.</div>
