I don't have a basement but that's where the guy I bought it from had it. it would have to set inside the house where the lined masonry chimney is. the chimney was built in the 90s.Unless there is a tag or label on it, it appears to be locally or home made. It's also a furnace so not sure how it will work in ducted . where will it sit? They were designed to sit on a concrete floor. Not sure how you will determine hearth requirements and be safe. One of the flues is the chimney and the other is piped into the ductwork. If you have a basement and duct work I would put it there?

The firebox is 10" from the floor inside the jacket. the bottom doesn't get hot is what I was told and that you could touch the jacket without getting burnt. which was one of my concerns I have two toddlers in the house.Before investing too much money on what appears to be a non-UL approved wood stove, make sure your homeowners insurance is OK with you installing this stove, or any stove, even UL approved.
Without their OK on an installation, an accident might not be covered.
I had a heck of a good heater that was not UL approved, but wanted to switch insurance companies to save money and found it cheaper to get a different modern stove (I bought it used on Craigslist) that was UL approved and made the insurance company happy, than keeping the one insurance company that would allow me to keep using my old beast.
If you are OK to install this, then you will be following the maximum requirements for NFPA 211 installations such as 36 inch clearance to combustibles, a very large hearth pad,,, gotta add some sort of legs, etc.
Good luck,

Yeah would like to have it blowing threw the ductwork of the house.So if the outer jacket doesn't get hot are you just planning on heating with it by using the blower and blowing the hot air out the duct pipe?
That's not counting the feed door or blower for the outside depth.The outside of the stove dimensions are 32" deep x 29" wide x 40" high.
I'm not sure haven't got to try it. going to put it in today. hopefully have the first fire in it tonight to see how it does.Under normal circumstances you may be fine. But how hot does the outer jacket get if the power goes out ? The hearth requirements would worry me.
Did you check with your insurance company? Did you have the chimney inspected? Are you sure the wall pass thru is done correctly? What hearth is it going on? What clearances do you have?I'm not sure haven't got to try it. going to put it in today. hopefully have the first fire in it tonight to see how it does.
I rent the house the owner said I could put it in. It is a masonry chimney built in the 90s but put a ss liner insulated in it. The chimney looks good it was a fireplace with a insert in it but the insert is not in it anymore. The wood stove where I have it has 4 1/2 foot of clearance from both walls on each side. will set 3 foot from the front of the brick fireplace. My uncle said I could just put the pad down from lowes it's some type of board wrapped with a thin piece of metal. The bottom of the firebox inside the jacket is 1 foot above that with firebrick in the bottom setting on there side so the wood will be burning on top of that so that adds 4 inches from the fire to the bottom of the firebox.Did you check with your insurance company?

That all sounds goodI rent the house the owner said I could put it in. It is a masonry chimney built in the 90s but put a ss liner insulated in it.

That is nowhere near good enough I would say you need at least 4 pieces of cement board under it. And make sure you have at least 16" in front and about the same on the sidesMy uncle said I could just put the pad down from lowes it's some type of board wrapped with a thin piece of metal.
Why are there firebrick on their side inthere? That is just crazyThe bottom of the firebox inside the jacket is 1 foot above that with firebrick in the bottom setting on there side so the wood will be burning on top of that so that adds 4 inches from the fire to the bottom of the firebox.
It doesn't have a great in it use to but the last owner took it out. it has a ash pan so I put the firebrick on its side to get up to where the great use to be. So I'll be shoveling the ashes out.Why are there firebrick on their side inthere? That is just crazy
For wood you dont want a grate anywayIt doesn't have a great in it use to but the last owner took it out. it has a ash pan so I put the firebrick on its side to get up to where the great use to be. So I'll be shoveling the ashes out.
