Tip from an ex roofing contractor for 20 years. Since your so close to the ridge I would put a piece of metal under the ridge and over the chimney flashing for backup. You did a perfect job, but if can keep any water from coming down to the boot from above you have way less chance of a leak later on. Right now your depending on the silicone only.

[@nickmastroianni5557]

Damn good advice. In the years to come, you need to depend on something more substantial than silicone. Water will also pool there w/o a piece of metal flashing.

[@douglasthompson2740]

Always best to have an air channel wall behind a wood stove. I have renovated homes and seen others that have the studs charred behind sheetrock covered with synthetic brick. The lesson being that heat can be cumulative in an enclosed space even if that facing layer is fire resistant. I have found a sheetrock layer over the studs or better still concrete board (real concrete not that Hardi crap), then 2x2 studding spacing out a final layer of concrete board which has an air gap at the bottom of an inch or two and an inch at the top. This allow a convection air flow to keep the area cool. A decorative finish of your choice can be added. I also like what we used to call a "stack robber" that took waste heat out of the stack and blew it across the room for even more circulation to protect the ceiling as well. If the ceiling is low it too can benefit from a double open layer to keep its temperature reasonable. Modern wood stoves can idle for long periods and build up creosote in the chimney. How much depends on the type of wood and how seasoned it is. Every so often depending on the buildup you experience it is good to open up the stove and let it burn super hot for twenty minutes or so. Either that or clean out the chimney with a brush manually as needed. A true chimney fire is something not to be experienced by the faint hearted!! High R value insulation can hold heat to a dangerous degree and needs protection from a wood stove. When it is cold out that area close to the stove can indeed get very very warm with radiant heat penetrating the wall.

[@CountryViewAcres]

The stove has abuilt in heat shield on the back. The wall doesn't get hot.

[@JosephSmith-sg9yv]

Very nice. I placed the sliding stove pipe on the bottom to the stove not on top like you did. Reason being when I clean pipe I slide it up off stove and put metal or plastic oil pan under pipe sitting on stove. when running brush down chimney it falls into oil pan not stove. when done slide down on stove . All creosote in pan.

[@rodriqueselston1119]

You should have used single walled pipe in the shop Double walled pipe through the roof You will be losing a lot of heat through the pipe that could be used to heat the shop........

[@davidtom6120]

GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT WORKERS, AND GREAT SKILLS.

[@youllhavthat]

I appreciate the fact that you will clarify how long it took you to do something in your videos. Too often when people post a video like this it seems like they get it done in no time flat. When in reality it has taken hours or days to complete.

[@lakepinesfarm1394]

I have same stove and have been really pleased with it. Going on 7 years of use. I have the blower, but have never installed it.

[@peterfagley772]

I’m very impressed with your skills and attention to the details of this project. Enjoy your good work!!

[@scottt1885]

Evan ever try a MagicHeat blower in the stovepipe, works on 110v, keeps alot of heat from going out the chimney,. less wood to keep area warm, fyi,

[@daveklein2826]

He only used insulated pipe at the roof

[@jetownsend1]

I'm sure you had a good reason why you picked insulated stove pipe for the conditioned space, but in case you didn't think about it, part of the heat exchange will occur from heat coming off the stove pipe inside, not just coming off the stove itself. By using insulated pipe inside the conditioned space, you are reducing that heat exchange and sending additional heat up the chimney and outside, rather than warming the workshop. You might consider just having the insulated cap in the attic space, but the rest uninsulated to allow extra heat to escape inside.

[@raymartinezii7366]

@@Boobtube. He installed it 100% correct. The transfer adapter secures the pipe in place and double wall insulated keeps the pipe from getting cold and pushing air downward. The adapter also secures the pipe in place for cleaning.

I agree .

[@trumpking4874]

Are u saying use single wall pipe inside and insulated class A pipe outside???? That’s how I was always told it do it cuz the single wall pipe inside will put off more heat. My code and insurance reason u must use double or triple wall outside

[@Elizabeth-tb5oh]

Absolutely. We always used double pipe inside. Up in Maine it gets cold.

[@ianstorrar934]

Put concrete blocks around the back and sides of the stove to create a thermal mass that will help with the heating plus a couple of stove fans.

[@robertpayne2717]

A couple of years ago I saw an wood ash vacuum cleaner made especially for cleaning out fire boxes and fireplace ash boxes it was also made to handle hot ash!!! I believed I saw it at TSC IN Jonesboro Arkansas

Looks like a good stove. I know where the dogs will be camped out when they're in the shop!

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

I jave that exact stove and heat a 2400 square foot house with it. I suggest the blower thats available for the back that blows air up thru the heat shield on the back. Game changer 🙏🏻

[@roberto.peterson9917]

Personally think that to small for shop heating like wood get but that looks like be better in home with open floor plan

[@derwinharris5116]

Nothing like a wood fire for comfort on cold days! My wife would have trouble getting me out of a shop like that with a warm stove!

Very impressived, well thought out, no back tracking, and you get the proper stuff to do the job right.

[@c.morris402]

Appreciate How detailed you are in this. I know the editing mustve been crazy. Thanks for the effort

[@douglasthompson2740]

Your insulated chimney looks like Metalbestos? If so they make a model for Canada (which has stricter fire codes) that has a thicker ss liner so it lasts longer and also thicker chimney caps etc. which also last much longer. If you have access to Canada it is much better quality as their codes require a pipe to last at a given temperature much longer than US codes. This translates into a pipe which has a much longer life before it burns out. Stainless does indeed lose material through each heat cycle and although better than regular mild steel it has a limited life. The hotter the burn cycle the more microns of metal are given off.

[@billblackburn83]

Merry Christmas from the UK. God bless you Evan and your wife, and family.

[@colleenb3810]

Evan, You make everything look so easy. Stay warm

[@craigschulz1852]

Recommend a fireplace fan. It sits on top of the stove & works by the heat generated by the stove. It helps blow the heat out into the room. Just place it on top of the stove & it will amaze you by the amount of heat it blows out into that big area. No need to plug anything in or by batteries. God Bless & have a great day!

[@graydon.dillon]

Just the video I needed before I put one up myself tm. Thanks.

[@fredrobinson6990]

Evan, you are good!

[@Growinggolfing]

That hole in the roof needed to have a rib centered on it so the sides are on the flats. In order to do it like you did, you needed to build a cricket. That will hold water up top. Guaranteed to leak in 5 years.

[@DUSTEATER2]

My neighbor was going to put a woodburner in his garage. He called his homeowner's insurance co to see if a rider was required. The Company told him that they would cancel his policy if he did that. They also said if he went ahead and put it in and had a fire, they would not pay and cancel anyway.. Check ahead with your insurer for their policy regarding woodburners in garages, shops, and dwellings. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

[@timidater4803]

Thats what mine did!!

Nice stove. Should keep you nice and warm.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

That sure looked like on heck of a chore, but it will pay off for many warm years to come!

[@kingkong7617]

Evan, that wood stove will come in handy on those cold and rainy days in the shop and it will heat the pole barn nicely and keep you warm while working. I know it was harder than it looked, but you made it look easy. Merry Christmas to you and Rebecca!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Love the heater! I know y’all are proud to have that done! Merry Christmas!

[@johnerway7255]

Great clean install. Light angle brace, would align the black pipe, black heat stove paint would make it look better. Thanks for sharing.

[@Farm_fab]

Evan, i've installed factory built fireplaces, and there's a reason that most are not DIY. Most people might not be able to adequately install one as there can be a lot of variables. We did a CAD house that was the contractor's first, and it went okay, but the fireplace chases didn't line up one each floor, so we had to use a lot of elbows for that job. Fortunately it was a natural gas unit, so there was less heat in the chimney. I'm glad that safety was a primary thing on your install. I think that will serve you well for many years to come. I wish you success on the installation of your ceiling.

[@peterm6128]

Nice job Evan. Quality workmanship.

[@coldspring624]

I have installed many flues and I shudder at the sight of silicon caulk. Eternabond tape or caulk is a fantastic product that more people should investigate. It really is a great product.

[@williamross4074]

High temp silicone is used only on the class A insulated pipe. Good up to 450 deg F. Never on smoke pipe, even double walled.

To late now but I know some people run those flashing gasket trims turned diamond not square so it sheds water better. Less chance of it pooling at the gasket.

[@charlesmach7511]

I have a similar stove in my pole barn. After a year of the stove setting on the concrete floor and having to kneel down when putting wood in the stove I purchased 8 6" x6" x 6" high concrete blocks and blocked the stove legs up 12". So much better whenever you need to get in the stove.

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list kzbin.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

Don't know if you can find one but, a friend of mine years ago had a Stove pipe oven attached to his chimney on his wood stove... we ate biscuits fresh cooked right in his wood shop. Mr. Ozbun was about 80 years old. And he was the one person you went to to have your hand saws or crosscut saws sharpened

[@timothykirchner6082]

Evan, maybe a couple ceiling fans would help distribute more heat to a greater area. After I believe you said you were going to put up a ceiling.. The company I used to work for had a waste oil furnace in the hanger. It took forever to warm up after the hanger doors were open to park all the Aircraft, but after installation of four ceiling fans it was a night n day difference. Great jobs!! Love your channel and Merry Christmas ..

[@CountryViewAcres]

Yes, I will probably install a couple of ceiling fans since the ceiling is so high.

You may have wanted to add a clean out section. It sucks to sweep that pipe in the winter when that roof is full of ice. And since you said you'll be burning cutoffs and those are probably pine wood you will need to sweep it more often since pine creates more creosote.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I started using a "sooteater" to clean the chimney in the house. You clean from the bottom up. No more getting on the roof.

Hi Evan from New Zealand. Another great video. That removeable brick & ashpan arrangement seems real nifty. Back in the day when we had a woodburner it didn't matter how careful I was at removing the ash, there was always heaps of ash swirling around the room.

[@betweentwocreaks]

I can so relate Evan. I’m living a retired life here in the Pacific Northwest. We bought some acreage back in the ‘80s and I now spend most of my days enjoying it. Not every project I do is easy either. I check your page everyday to see your latest. Love watching.

[@dennisfahlstrom2515]

Evan, it’s a nice stove but it sure looks puny in your huge shop. On a bitter cold winter day can it heat your shop above 45? It is an attractive addition. You should give some thought to going solar and adding a sizable electric heat pump -- say 5 tons to give you both AC and heat when needed - which for me is often. I put in a used 3 ton heat pump in my 1200 sq ft shop for $2500. I don’t spend as much time in my shop as you do but really enjoy working in comfort as I’m 77. The solar was added two years ago and having no electric bills is another blessing. It’s not cheap but it’s a great investment. My financial advisor asked me a simple question that quickly made my decision easier: he said “where else can you invest that will earn you an effective 12%?” Another option rather than a heat pump is a mini split ductless unit. They are cheap and HIGHLY efficient with SEER ratings exceeding 30 and 35. If my 25 year old heat pump (SEER rating 8) kicks the bucket one of these will replace it for sure. Check Carrier and Mitsubishi for prices.
