Looks great! What stove is it?

 

[bad0351]

Its A haman P-61A......just got today so we will have to wait a bit for a review....the longer the better!!

I would fire it up to make sure it works though before fall gets here.

Oh yes.....I plan to fire it as soon as we get a cool evening and make sure all is working....
It was almost 90 today so I thought I'd wait a bit and make sure in the next week or two.

 

[DoWnAqT]

well it wont be any different in the winter...it will feel like its 90 outside when in that room during the winter when that bad ass working..

Can you post a picture of how you sealed the pipe to the outside part of the thimble? I will be installing my stove with the same thimble, although I think it will be in a different orientation for straight out.

Hello Dale

Looks really nice! You will love those freezing cold nights now because instead of turning up the oil and thinking about the cost, you will be warm and cozy with the cheap but warm pellet heat

Very Nice.... Good looking stove. Nice OAK set-up..

Is that electric Dolly yours?? Or the Dealer's?? I have been looking to buy one of those. The guy who brought my 750 lb Vault, did it with his 11 yr old daughter. His was a little bigger (More complicated) unit. But that one you have, is what I am looking for.

Not to be a party pooper, but I would have plugged it in outdoors and ran it on high to get all the manufacturing oils & high heat paint burned off BEFORE bringing it inside. They stink-up the house pretty good unless you have the windows open.

Just my 2 cents.


BTW, the stove & install look great!! Congrats.

The installer had me do the following after our P61 was installed.
Start the stove normally and as soon as the circulation fan came on shut it down.
He said do this 4-5 times to "break in" the stove.

Anyone else hear of this?

Anyway, nice looking stove! It sure is a workhorse if you need it!
This coming Winter will be our 4th and no regrets!!

That was the dealers rig....

So I see your from sw nh also. Did you get your stove in Jaffery? Thats where I got mine.Did you get a chance to take a picture of the outside pipe to thimble seal?

Yes, I did get it in Jaffrey...I wanted a dealer that is close by and one I felt comfortable with this being my first dip in the pellet pool....(VERY nice folks to deal with)
I hope these are the pics your looking for?? let me know if not and I can take some others for you.

Dale, one thing that needs to be fixed is the LARGE gap between the outside thimble plate and the pipe....WAY too much space. Bugs, bees, rain, snow, etc will find their way into that space.

Did you do a self install on this, or the dealer?

Dealer install.....How can I seal that gap?.....possibly fabricate a cover from alluminum or lead flashing?
Thankyou for the heads up!!

 

[pollywog]

Yup, those are the pictures I wanted. That shows the gap I was wondering how I was going to seal. i will probably secure some wire mesh , chicken wire on the inside to help hold the pipe centered and help hold the silicone caulk i will put in the gap. Any other suggestions out there? Im sure others have had the same setup. is 500deg rtv from rutland good enough for pellet stove pipe sealing?

Oh wow...the dealer did that???? :gulp:

IMO, the dealer/installer needs to come back and fix it....no way I'd accept that.

Yes, they need to fab some sheet galvanized or aluminum with a circle cut out of it that will fit tight against the pipe, and then the whole thing should be sealed with clear Hi-Temp silicone all around it.

 

[pollywog]

What I really would like is a sheet metal washer that would just slide over the pipe, yet be large enough to cover the hole. Say 3-9/16 ID by 4-1/2 od. Any one got the tools for that?

 

[imacman]

....is 500deg rtv from rutland good enough for pellet stove pipe sealing?

Yes, that's fine. They DO make it in clear too.

That may be something I can take care of.....I hate to have them back for something thats an easy fix.... :zip:

 

[DexterDay]

I still think that you should tell them. That way they know and maybe it won't happen to the next guy.. Do what you want. But I am a DIY'er and I would at least give the dealer a "Heads up". Maybe he does them all like this (I would doubt it, but ya never know) or maybe he just got in a hurry and forgot. We are all Human (right?).. I would let him know either way. IMHO
