I am waiting for an "Open on Rise" Low Limit switch befor a fire it up. It does work!
I saw it working before I bought it but still there were lots of problems!
The Pelpro Bay View I got used and cheap so it needs a few things.
I had to give it 2 coats of paint and new fire brick. Also lubricate the room blower bushing so it starts up fine.
I also just learned that Aubuchon is the local Pelpro dealer but only their more busy "Service Stores" like the one in Nashua NH and Suncook NH according to the Haverhill store manager.

I had to build a raised hearth but only had to buy 2 pieces of wood and grout and tile.
All the other wood included the 1/4" PT plywood underneath it was left over scrap from the shed.

Building the shed was fun and seeing other sheds and getting advice here really help too!

Have to put on the finishing touches but atleast with pellet heat it will be warm cheap heat!!
The kerosene heat for the shed was getting expensive

Wow that looks like one heck of a shed! Is that where the women of the house often sends you when she is upset

Pellet heat check
Only thing missing is recliner & beer!
Then it would be a man shed, a man shed I say :exclaim:

Ok, I could not wait either so I manually bypassed the Low Limit Switch to get through the startup cycle. After that it burned fine!

My friend and I bought a case of Heinekin and Coronars and left outside the shed door in the 22 Degs with a 15 MPH wind and the beers were chilled in 15 mins

Nice, what a great idea for the shed / man cave

 

[pelletizer]

what did you use under the shed floor to sure it up? my shed is only I believe 2 x 4"under the floor.

Hello pelletizer

Good question. I used PT 2x8x10s in the floor with 1-3/8" foil foam board for insulation. The floor joists are sitting on 8 solid concrete blocks. Under each block is a 2 foot deep hole filled with 3/4" stone! All the blocks are set at the same height using a Water Level!! No shimming or leveling was needed in building the shed on these blocks!
The shed does not move!!

In this thread you can see the base pics!

Thanks Smoke Show,

I spend most of my time down in the basement / garage and seeing Don,s shed install really makes me think I should get a pellet stove set up down here.
I have a work bench, TV stereo area set up down here and the garage is attached off to one side.
Since pellet stove install 4 years ago upstairs the furnace hardly runs and it is now cold down her in winter.

2x8x10 and the 2 foot deep hole filled with 3/4" stone "that is one rugged shed!
I would have to support the floor under my shed if I was ever to install a pellet stove in there.
Checked your links and what a heck of a job you did building the shed "Enjoy It"

Looking good!

Did you climb a tree for that first pic?

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

Have the neighbors called the fire department yet or do they know about your pyro tendencies by now and figure oh what is he doing now?

No tree climbing, just standing on the house side deck which is 15 feet away.

Actually my next door neighbor on the shed side has an Englander 25-PDVC and is a Chemical Engineer! So being next to an Electrical Engineer like me we have a complete understanding of electrons!!

Oh boy what a combination, it must be interesting in your neighborhood. Mad scientists in lab coats playing with dangerous things. All I've ever had over the years was a pile of doctors, teachers, lawyers, or professors and a few strange tenants the neighbors had. Most of these folks had problems with anything that gets their hands really dirty. Well, I must admit one of the doctors does like to garden as long as she isn't the one digging in the messy stuff.

Yes, I was thinking of R15 Fiberglass for the walls, 2 of my friends did it to their sheds and wow what a difference!
