Wood Stove Installs???

[BigFish]

Anyone here know how to install one? I have a Jotul I would like installed in my shop. Its a simple run up from the stove through the roof.....maybe 10-12 feet of pipe total?? Looking for someone to do the job?

Very simple L. You can do yourself. I did 2 at my house. Just go to store, a good one, ask for correct piping and get permit from town and put in. You are doing the simple straight install piece of cake.

you want the double walled stove pipe
costs a bit more but worth it considering
that your shop environment has fine dust

also consider your prevailing winds because
occasional pops of Knots (like a chestnut)
in wood can send
sparks right out of the flue pipe

Larry,
What size pipe does it take? I have a widowed customer who has been looking to get rid of insulated chimney sections. Been in her garage for a number of years. Never installed. Could be had for a song, if they haven't already been put out for the dump.... Just need to know what you need as you don't want to mix and match.... I could find out today for you.

I think it is 6"? I will measure.

For some reason I think that's a 5" flu pipe Larry. If I remember correctly. You can always use a reducer at the opening of the stove. Won't hurt anything to go from 5" to 6"

Yeah you are right Bob!

HBD larry,
yes I am jumping this thread

I plan on putting a wood stove in my fireplace.

Thanks in advance

Are you putting in a regular wood stove, or one of the newer sealed burn chamber models, similar to a pellet stove type?
Regular stoves perform on the same level as a fireplace, meaning they draw in air from outside to replace the heated air they vent up the flue.

They have wood stoves that have a sealed/seperate burn chamber that receives air directly from outside and vents aou through the flue,but the room air is drawn around the burn chamber like a pellet stove.

Easy? I couldn't say as I saw one installed on This Old House on TV.
Safe? with an existing fireplace you should have sufficient insulation provided the fireplace and flue pass inspection.
Legal? Sure, it's only a wood stove. Your just replacing the method by which you burn the wood. I would double check on any inspection aspects so that there aren't any surprises.

Thanks ,
it is a old upland 27 wood burning stove, A friend just refurbished and painted
do I need to install a cheap liner as added protection or am I crazy , slam it in and let it go

all houses had brick or stone chimneys

and to have a "Cook Stove" you tied into your
existing chimney used for the "Hearth"

typically on the opposite side going thru
the wall dividing the Kitchen from the
Living Area ....

unless there was More than One ...
(usually that was a given with crappy insulation)

Our present day Homes are very "draft Free"
so keep in mind you'll need fresh air coming in
somewhere just to breathe in addition
to what amount the fire needs.

It is said that our Homes are Drier in the winter time
than the Sahara Desert so it's a good idea to have
a stainless steel tea kettle on the stove to help
re-humidify your interior wood ESPECIALLY when having
Wood stoves as the ceiling temps run around 90-> 100 degrees.

Go to town hall and they will tell you what to do. You need to get it inspected for Ins. purposes. Some towns will not let you put in an inefficient stove because of air pollution.
