How to install a wood burning stove DIY step by step

**2023 UPDATE!! In this video at 22.18mins you see Caleb put the stove flashing ontop of the shingles. This was incorrect. It should go underneath the shingles. You can see the follow up video we did here • We made a mistake!!! W...
where he removes the shingles after winter to correct this mistake !

*** The stove itself is found here www.englander-stoves.com/us/e...
In this DIY video we are sharing our experience of how to install a wood burning stove DIY step by step, how we did it and what we learned. If like us you have never done this before, this video covers how to install a wood stove chimney through the roof, how to install a double wall stove pipe, how to connect double wall stove pipe to triple wall chimney, how to connect a double wall stove pipe. We also share which stove we purchased and the reasons we chose it.
The overall install was not super technical but its important to understand the parts your using, what they do and the science of how they work to make your wood burning stove efficient and safe. The only other advice we have is use more silicone than you think you need !!! We had a couple of leaks to solve after install where some water got underneath the flashing.

Pull that flashing off and the ceiling support box edges you flapped over the top of the shingles. Cut those flaps off and screw into the inners of the roof joists. Then make sure the upper half of the flashing is slid under a few layers of shingles. Nice video. Just trying to save you a bad leak before it happens. Because it will. And you’re going to have to redo it anyways. Might as well do it now before it ruins your drywall ceiling inside and the insulation.

[@jeffkalmar7871]

Agreed, that thing is going to leak like a sieve after the first year.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

You are totally right ! We have had a persistent leak - credit to Caleb it hasnt been bad but he said the shingles were/are old and so he didn't want to lift them and risk them tearing so thats why he went over. I think then he cut the flaps off. But none the less, the leak is there and we need to re do it - but most likely at the same time as replacing all the shingles as its about time it was done ! Job on the list before winter - will post a follow up video for sure - thanks so much for your message !

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

Thanks for watching! Do watch our follow up video ( link in description) where we reflashed the chimney box to tuck the flaps under the shingles ( at the same time as we replaced the old ones)

[@Morgan-ft6nd]

Next time don't fold the box over the shingles and tuck the roof flashing under the top shingles as that will leak

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

Yes thankyou! We realise our mistake but old shingles wouldnt lift without damage so we really need to redo the whole roof!

Fantastic video. Very comprehensive and well done. Kudos to you both. I do agree with some of the other comments that you may have wanted to do the box flashing at the top of the roof a little differently though.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

Thanks for commenting - yes we have been battling a persistent leak, when i read the comments to Caleb he said he didn't want to lift the shingles because they were in poor condition and is most likely gonna have to rip it all off and replace the roof anyway - but you are right! I didn't realise he had done that and why so we will post a follow up video to clarify !

Great family, congratulations! We subscribed.. I love what you're building over there. My wife and I live in Denver and we want OUT! It's nerve wracking and we've been looking for property and we're already half packed and ready to go even though we don't have a place yet! Your video is clear and easy to understand. You didn't show how you came up with the precise place to make your first penetration in the ceiling. I imagine you placed the stove, used a plumb bob to mark the center, figured your square dimensions then did the same under the sheathing. I just collapsed the telescoping flu on my stove and used fat wood to start a fire and it stunk to high heaven and I noticed smoke was escaping at the ceiling penetration. I must've untwisted it..Nice job and my wife and I will see other videos on your channel...

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

awww thanks for your comment - i totally missed it!! Hope you have found your dream place by now ! Thanks for your encouragement - yeah Caleb used a lazer to find his point but i missed him doing that ( he doesn't always wait for the camera - lol!) We were pretty limited with where we could put our stove due to this shouse being so small - and to get the correct height of the chimney and clearance above the roof apex we needed to be pretty close to the peak of the roof to ensure a good draw on the flu. Thanks for your comment !

Great video and just want to say two things. Nice ladder with the steps on both sides and the shingles ,even old ones, can be gotten loose with a mud knife or anything to cut that goop that keeps the shingle down.the thinner the spatula the better. I subscribed !!

[@stevebleth513]

I just got into my kit this weekend. Wish you would have shown inside the box where the chimney pipe locks in to see how that looks. Did your chimney pipe lock inside that part or outside? It looks like another part should be there. There is like a 1 or 2 inch area with holes and some insulation. Does that end up outside your chimney pipe? Hope that makes sense as i am trying to get a few things figured out before install. Thnx

[@rickroll9086]

Great to see someone actually DIY an install; the fireplace shops charge a lot of money for this relatively medium difficulty project. its not rocket science. Probably a good idea to check local codes. In Canada, the chimney height is minimum of 3 feet, and with that pitched roof you should have been about 5 feet and with braces (for Canadian code). Since kits come in 4 ft sections (Excel kit) you would have ordered 8 feet of chimney from the start. in other words, the first instal was obviously too short. Also, the chimney support box distance from the inside ceiling needs a minimum clearance; this instal is probably very close to the minimum. Of course, the stove clearances and floor protection areas (particularly if you have carpet) also need to be checked.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

thankyou !! Sorry i missed this comment!! We did a follow up video because we also need to re do the flashing ( and explained that in the video - also gave us a chance to clean the pipe out and see what sort of creosote build up there was) as to clearances yes - i am from the UK where you can't sneeze without a code ( lol) and live in rural Missouri where there is basically no code ( eek) so i try to do my homework!! We had a challenge with this "shouse" being so small and needed to work with closer clearances which we overcame by using double wall pipe and stove designed with a rear heat sheild, but as to the chimney we did build it up ( i think i showed that in the end) since we were within 10 feet of the roof peak we needed to go 2 ft taller than the peak - so we added 3 more sections of chimney above the roof, i think we have 8 or 9 ft inside of stove pipe. The total length of the chimney from the top to the base of stove pipe seems to have a good draw and i def learned more about chimneys than i ever thought i would ! lol.

[@dd9781]

Did the curtain burn and did the vinyl melt or break the glass, aren’t clearances at 48” required to fabric etc.?

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

i wouldn't be very smart if i hadn't thought about those things!!! We used a double wall stove pipe ( insulated) so it doesn't heat up like a single wall. Keeps the flue at a higher temp and creates a better draw. The stove we purchased is designed for small spaces and comes with a rear heat shield. Can also have side head shields added. So to answer your question the clearances were different for our setup, we followed the instal regulations and no the window and curtains don't even get warm!

[@MrBreak35100]

Curious.Do the sheet metal screws penatrate through the inner wall of the double wall stove pipe? Thanks.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

They are pretty short so i wouldnt think so- i think they go through the outer wall and into the cuff of the pipe your inserting if that makes sense?!

[@AjaOBrien]

What about if your attic space is taller the the roof box? My distance from ceiling to roof is 3 f5 of attic. Do i just use a double wall insulated pipe to make up the space distance to the roof?

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

sorry i didn't see this question - but i wouldn't be able to give you an answer lol - we are just learning too- i'd love to hear what you learned?

[@JBWorkshop90]

I did the first burn of my stove outside to cure the paint boy am I glad I did

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

We werent sure about that given the stove needs the chimney to create the draw so didnt think it would get hot enough to do what was needed before install… it did stink on the first few burns though 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@kevincroteau1591]

When putting stove pipe together is it best to have the male end down? So the creole drips out of the chimney and you don 't have a fire.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

yes for single wall - double wall is different because the single wall is inside!! It took me a while to figure it out - but the pipes had arrows on indicating the flu goes up and the creosote always needs to run down ??? is that what your saying ?

[@williamwonser3525]

How did you calk the flashing collar to the flue on the roof and what material did you use ?

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

We used an adhesive called “through the roof” and we should have tucked the top half of the collar under the shingles ( read all the comments) but the reason we didnt is because the shingles are in bad shape and Caleb thought they would tear by trying to lift them… so really we need to take it off and re do it - but yeah tuck your collar under the shingles… the adhesive mentioned is really good

[@christophercormier4722]

Have you had any roof leaks yet ? Should remove shingles first then in stall . After installed you in stall shingles over metal flashing

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

yes, we just did a follow up video - we took all the shingles off and Caleb explained why he didn't do that back in the Feb when he installed the stove - you are right though - we did have a small leak, more so from broken shingles further up, so the roof needed re-doing anyway!!

[@bluyetiinc7553]

Excellent Video. Question - what was the length of the chimney and where did you get it from?

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

I'm sorry i missed your comment - all the links for products are in the video description - the chimney ( the silver part above the roof) came part from home depot and part from tractor supply but its all the same brand. The length of the chimney will vary from install to install because you need to clear the apex of your roof by a certain amount to make sure you get a good draw in your flu. If you look up the 321 rule for chimneys it says it has to be 3 feet clear of where you penetrate the roof and 2 feet taller than any part of the bulding that is within 10 feet. We were close to the apex of our roof so we had to build up the chimney to make it 2 feet taller if that makes sense. Inside the house with the stove pipe i think the general rule of thumb is around 10 feet ( the longer your chimney the stronger the draft) but you can also get stoves with an oxygen intake to help with that aaaand then there are rear exiting stoves... hope that helps some!!

How does your windows do with the stove being so close? I keep seeing that you wanna be 3ft away from windows. I'm just asking because I'm wanting to install a wood stove and it seems about the same as yours from a window.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

we were really limited with where we could place our stove so when i researched the type of stove i wanted i was specifically searching for a stove that is built for small space living - when you start to look into it Different stoves have different options. Our stove -and many in the englander range come with rear and side heat shields meaning the clearances can be tighter. If you look into stoves built for mobile homes then you will find they are built differently. When we first installed ours i was going to change our window curtains out for a blind, and i was checking all the time the stove was on to see if heat was transferring and they barely get warm. My hubs said you can actually touch the back of the stove when its on ( not that i've tried it lol) but to answer your question its designed for a closer clearance that what is standard. You still want to follow the clearances recommended in the install manual though. Also make sure you check part 2 of the install video because Caleb re did the chimney through the roof in terms of the way he flashed with the shingles. Hope this helps!

[@vincentmalice6846]

[@andrescano5778]

do you have to do anything to wall behind it?

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

We are not experts but from the research we did, it seems to depend on the make and model of the stove and also the clearance/distance to the wall. The model we got does not give out a great heat output to the rear so for us any wall tile or stone we put up would be for decorative reasons

Huge conflict of interest. Of course they're going to recommend stoves that get a commission for! That's why there's NO agreement on best stoves!

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

hardly ! We are promoting what we know like and trust. Lol we would hardly have gone to the lengths of installing a stove we didn't feel good about just to earn a 0.2% commission from amazon!! That would be a conflict of "our interests" - also it takes hours of editing and filming to put videos together for other people to consume for free - there has to be some ability to earn income somewhere along the line or the only people who would have time to make content are those who don't need to earn a living - and that is not us!!

Hoping you have removed the curtain for your safety

[@happycamper-ux5pv]

you should make a roing kndling firethan fill up the stove with logs and dial down the air

[@Try2-Imagine]

My anxiety went through the roof watching this.

[@brenbates1677]

This is 100% what not to do. Remove shingles and cover , silicone will fail and this will leak , not if it will leak , when. Complete hack

[@briannatheobald2601]

That is going to allow water to roll down onto your stove...

[@daviddyson3188]

Your roof is going to leak

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

it did! Caleb realised his error - see caption and link to follow up video where we reshingled the roof and added a mud room! thanks for watching!

[@cdawg9149]

Thats gonna leak. Sooner than later

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

we've been chasing a leak alright !! We couldn't put the collar under the shingles as they are old and Caleb thought they would tear and leak anyway but we are gonna be re roofing before winter and will post the follow up ! Thanks for commenting ! You are right !!

[@coalville1234]

That’ll leak. Guaranteed.

[@widowmaker41]

Bruh your flashing job is so bad. You gotta tuck the back flap of the pipe boot under shingle. You can't just caulk it. That's gonna leak. Call a roofer sometime. It is worth the money.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

Hey Bruh did someone teach you how to be churlish or does it just come naturally for you?

[@keithkuckler2551]

This is not how you want to install the roof saddle, that, is wrong. That saddle top and sides must be under the shingles. You may have to cut back the shingles or heat them a bit to bend them. the bottom edge is the only part that sits on top of the shingles. More important, the stove clearances from the combustible materials are way too close, no way are they safe.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

Thanks Keith- we posted a follow up video of tucking the flashing under the shingles in tbe spring when we re did the roof- there is a note to explain in the description… as to the clearances this is per instal manual, our stove is built for mobile homes and has side and rear heat shields together with double wall pipe- there is no heat from the back of this stove during a full burn- all heat from top and front

[@eugeniotapia6765]

Yes yes, lesson learned about the flashing, now the know-it-all crude trolls need to chill, I'm sure your first install wasn't prime perfect !

[@redsresearch]

wrong

[@mrenormouscroc]

You post a video on installing a wood stove and you don't know how to do it properly ?????? Are you serious.....and you leave it up ????

[@DrWitnesser]

You shou really take this video down, because it's showing people how NOT to install a wood stove...

[@manolocalifas6488]

incorrect install; instructions tell "How to".

[@jimperdue6166]

Have you heard of building a stove fire from the top down? If you google it, and like what you find, you may want to try it. I will if I get the stove I want installed this year.

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

haven't heard of it - will look it up - we had leaks because of how we installed the top part but we have old shingles so didn't want to lift them. We are most likely going to reroof before winter and will post an update. Thanks for your message!

[@pollo4107]

lost my eye sight in one eye using them snipps exactly as u where with no eye protection metal fragment

[@asidasid2487]

What hack job

[@SuperJohnrap]

Just horrible

[@TheLittlePalletFarmhouse]

🤦🏼‍♀️

[@expatconn7242]

You should have lifted up your random cut above and tucked in your flashing then payed down your Roofing material Then cut as needed to fit around flashing on top. And for all you keyboard jockeys I was a roofer for a while so yeah that’s not the right way to do that

[@inyourmama1559]

That's not how you install wood burning stove on the roof
