Pics of my new install!

[anka]

Finally its finished... and the gf didn't even leave allthough she has decided I like the stove more than her. We just moved into the old farmhouse and there is tons of fixing to do, but I had to strart with my new stove (used 1 season). We are expecting a baby girl on Feb 1. Here are the pics...

Nice cove for the stove with rustic, home-made hearth pad. Looks great firing.

Someone has already found a home for themselves, i'm sure the g/f will not be far behind

Just noticed the light fixture in the back, good call. That will come in handy for your cleaning and repair work.

Stove really looks nice there in the corner... classes up the room. I am still messing with the controlls trying to get heat to maximize. I am at 25% humidity so a new humidifier tomorrow is going in....
The original owners wife further up north in Maine rejected the idea of a pellet stove after a season- couldn't get used to the noise.. I am happy enough with the ambience as long as it can cover the job of the forced air furnace...
3 pallets of Barefoots in the garage! should have gone for 4... about 260 delivered INTO the garage on sale. LOL

Anka, where did you get the Barefoots? I assume your located in Maine. If been looking high and low for them.
Stuck with these clunky Okies for now. (just kiddin).

Thanks again.. space was too small to use for anything, had a small desk crammed in there... really bad fen shui... LOL..

Pellets came from Ohara's in Rockland...November sale... Also I bet Rocky's in Augusta would be a good bet. Barefoots are amazing pellets!

Nice looking install and dog!
I have two Brittanies at home that love my stove.
They fight for the dog bed placed in front of the stove.

I have the same Bosch Jig saw. Great little saw

Just reporting back after my first week of pellet heat, stove temp, feed rate 3, blower on medium.... the stove is amazing-great ambiance, totally comfortable leaving it running for the day/night.

Stove room stays about 75-80 near the stove, and I watch tv and read in shorts..

such a change from sitting under a blanket draped over an electric heated these past years... the forced air made the house dry and dusty, going from hot to cold every little while-misery.

The only time the oil comes on is at night to keep temps above 55 when I let the stove rest- seems more efficient than burning pellets and keeping temps hot all night, but I need to experiment more- maybe I can burn a low fire at night. Also the small hopper makes it more work to keep it running 24/7....
