I fairly detailed video on how I installed my wood burning stove in my steel building. The building is about 1000 square feet, not insulated and is well heated by this little stove. This is in no way meant to be an instructional video, only an overview of what I did in my agricultural non-code rated building.

[@kammyHS]

Just want to say thank you! I know this video was made 5 years ago and I’ve been watching you a long time! I’m a 61 year old woman and I have a 30x50 pole barn with metal roof! After watching your video- I knew I could do this! And did finally this last weekend! Because of your video saying just do it. 🔥

[@jasonholmes7587]

Does it keep your garage warm?

[@lesterpeyton9966]

"Agricultural Situation" love that! Thanks for the great video. I am installing a wood stove in my cabin. Stay warm!

[@kenkrommenacker8649]

We had a wood stove just like that one! We love it, keep us warm in the winter.

[@jazfarm5726]

Just what I needed. Going to be doing exactly the same. Great to see someone else do it first.

[@NeedsMoreToys]

If you shine a light thru the pipe to the roof it will cast a nice elliptical shadow on sloped roofs so you know where to cut.

[@northeastwildernesswalker]

Genius

[@tonystafford3134]

Good idea!

[@chind0na]

I'm going to fix my mother-in-law's wood stove pipe this way. That insulated piece of pipe is awesome. Puts me at ease because the boot won't get much heat. Class A.

[@stavio12]

Just bought a second hand wood stove for my little outdoor family area. Didn't know how to cut the metal roof, now I know. Thanks mate.

Found this video at just the right time--I'm putting in a chimney pipe for my blacksmithing forge in my not-really-to-code-either smithy in the backyard. You answered ALL my questions and showed just the right amount of detail for me to feel like I can do this myself! Hell, I already built the whole 8x8 smithy myself! Not bad for a 52-year-old lady!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Awesome buddy....glad my hillbilly engineering could help...I was very intimidated by doing this until I got into it...and couldn't find anything good on the internet about a "simple way" to get it done in a steel building

[@michaelreaney2063]

one off the better video's​ I've seen brilliant job simple explane well done

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks so much good to have kind people like urself on the channel

[@slowfinger2]

Nice install. Here's a tip for cutting round holes in sloped surfaces. You need to cut oval to get the same clearance around the pipe, because your string changes length in relation to level as you rotate on the angle of the roof. Bet the chimney was tighter on the top/bottom than the sides. Mark the ceiling straight up from the edges of the pipe.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Good thinking! Thanks for the comment brotha!

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

yeah that's a great tip thank you !

[@charleypearson2314]

Very informative video. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@rockybranchridingschoolliv4096]

Having put 2 Vermont Castings in a pole barn, the chimney must have the Silkirk (unless you're using the other brand) Adjustable Ceiling Bracket JSC6RS. It hold the chimney up. Then the ceiling mount box, supports the black wall pipe. Got to be fairly close to installation code, or your Insurance Company could likely deny a claim. Also, have the insurance co come out and do an inspection, so it is on file. Menards has all the parts. We bought our stoves new, years ago, but the local stove retailer/installer would not do an install because we didn't buy it new from them. Stuck learning a lot on our own. Selkirk has a great tech support/install dept. It is not easy going from a house to a pole barn install. Did go with the Dektite #8 boot instead of the Selkirk, just not the quality expected.

[@dollmm23]

Thank you so much. Your tutorial has been very helpful. God bless.

[@RootBeerRacer]

Looking forward to cutting a hole in the roof of my little shop now. Thanks for the video!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...be precise brotha

[@kcausey212]

I thank you for making this video! I've been holding off on finishing my stove because I am scared to cut a hole in my metal roof. This video gave me some reassurance. Like you said, their isn't many leads when it comes to putting a stove in a metal building!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You are very welcome buddy...I was a bit nervous myself...nothing to it..

[@kcausey212]

I have a few more questions about your installation. Just wanting to get mine right. I'm beginning to get my supply list together. Would you rather me ask the questions here or all in one email to you? Preciate it pal.

[@jamiemcfarlaneauthor]

love the flashing product, thanks for video, might give this a try

[@Brian18741]

Thanks for sharing josh! Very informative 👍

[@autodidact9122]

When I installed mine in my wood shop I went thru a secure transition box and positioned the pipe 2 feet above the nearest surface that was 10 feet from the center of the pipe.

[@adamswendsen2494]

glad to see someone out there is using the right flashing for metal roofs! always see attempts to make a metal cone flashing work. looks good!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks buddy

[@1982MCI]

Stoney Ridge Farmer where did you get the chimney seal for metal roof josh? Just put a new chimney and stove in the house but it took the standard one from Lowe’s but now I’m putting a stove in the barn and I have the same tin to seal around but can’t find the same style cone you used. I appreciate any help josh, take care buddy

Great video, really appreciate the time you took to make it. That adapter.. the one you used to hook your single wall to double wall pipe. Does it have a technical term? Reason I ask is because I'm having a hard time finding it for online purchase. I'm looking for one for 8" pipe.

[@footandfurrowfarm397]

Was there an option for a storm collar to deflect rain from the rubber flashing? May be an option you can still add on and would help protect the rubber gasket.

[@brownbunny2513]

Thank you, good information & video...

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad you liked it BB. I couldn't find anything decent out there for doing this job so I just made a video while I did it....its still holding up nice after 6 months...heats the garage nicely and we will use the wood stove for canning this year

[@brianrobbins3499]

Josh always try to layout the Dektite so water flows around both sides and doesn’t dam against the roof ribs

[@shaze-10]

Thank you! I'm doing this exact thing in my agricultural non-code required building. I was nervous to go through the roof, but much less so now! Sadly I'm stuck at finding a stovepipe to chimney adapter as my outer wall for the chimney is 10inch triple wall. The companies just tell me i must frame it in. 😂 no way I'm changing or adding structural.

[@jon2564]

Great video thanks! I noticed a channel (at the 14.19 mark) outside base of the base flashing. Will water collecting in that channel quicken corrosion over the life of the flashing?

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

first time I've seen a plumbob used. thanks

[@gitlittoo2161]

Iv put in many of wood stoves in my day. I always cut the hole in the roof first. Then move the stove to fit. But each to their own

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Well...I knew where I wanted my stove...and a plumb bob can work miracles....as you said...to each his own....I think I had to move the stove about 1 inch to the left to get everything leveled up

[@Mm-ik9uq]

Just as food for thought, if you work on gasoline equipment in your shop, the stove should be setup 18-20 off the ground, to keep from igniting gasoline fumes.. This is code for natural gas water heaters installed in garages.. Just don't want to see anyone get hurt.. Great job..

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers....makes sense for sure.. I now keep my gas containers in a building without heat or electricity....flammables need to be in a safe place or cabinet for sure

[@markdonahoo2912]

Should of held a piece of pipe up there. If your roof is angled your hole will not be a perfect circle, it will be an elliptical cutout. Hold a pipe straight up with the "wall" side edge touching the roof (leaving the opposite side will be a couple inches from the roof). Make your guide marks from that.

[@wgiles51]

The boot is a circle, so an elliptical hole wouldn't work.

[@cuanrynhart2900]

Hey man! Great video I’m just about to do the same thing but wondering how you’re screws are tight without anything underneath your tin?

[@joshuarutledge2707]

Question. Is it more beneficial to cut the diameter of the flashing piece as oppose to cutting the diameter of the pipe or is it just preference?

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

WOW really nice video Josh and you really make it all look pretty easy too : ), can you tell where you found the orange cone gasket thingy ? i am getting ready to install a woodstove in my shop because for the past 5 years i have been working in a snowmobile suit because o fthe cold, so i built a nice riding lawnmower for a guy and traded him for a like new woodstove , just today i got a ladder so i can finally reach the roof and now after watching your cool nice video i am excited to do mine and get a fire going. Where i am people are constantly throwing out nice hardwood pallets so it will be free firewood for me just a little work cutting them up is all. Well thank you very much and hey can you make a video showing your fire in your stove ? that would be really cool, have a nice day Josh, hope your stove is keeping you and your friends warm during the cold, i'd also love to know your "pot of beans" recipe : ), i used to have a 4 bean soup that was great with corn bread. !!

[@joebarrett9830]

What's done is done, but my question is why wouldn't you measure your double sided wall pipe and add just a 1/4 inch from center. This would give you half inch larger hole for easy installation and not have such a large excessive hole. Just curious. Love the video.

[@majorpayne5289]

👍thx for the video👍 always fun to watch along w/ being educational✌️

[@jamiecote9939]

Hey how are you! Quick question, how did you attach the tin wall sheets to the metal studs. Did you pre drill a small hole then put in the screws? Thank you!

[@chiefmik9108]

Josh how is the stove working out... just watched the video, and you could have put some cement board between the stove and wall to keep the wall cool... Good shop video... Chief {NYS/ADK}...

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I agree...I have some tin up right now..but that's a great idea!

[@getngrip]

Thanks for the video, I've got a stove on the way for a Carolina Carport building. Off subject question is regarding the gutters on your building. Could you provide some info on the gutter installation. Thanks from SC.

[@ramhornjoe]

How is your building & stove doing. We are currently making a studio / shop in a 26' x 30' carolina carport building with 14ft walls. Have already started installing prodex insulation

[@Photobby]

Great video. Also shout out to SolDuc hot springs! My hood!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yea man! So the back story on that shirt is that a group of us guys all get together once per year and do a "Man Hike" we call it the "Macho Man" trip. We did northern cascades three years ago and the end of the trail was the hot springs...man we were dirty and stinky folks must have thought we were crazy

[@traganfour7168]

[@rickcook5335]

Great video. I think my new building in KY is the same as yours. Was your's from Carolina Carport? 30' x 60'. Great building and a great value. I was wondering if that angle across your roof near the edge is a snow break. Where did you get it? I also insulated the roof of my building to reduce/eliminate the condensation. I did 2/3 of the roof with the rolls of radiant barrier insulation. I ran out in the middle and could not get more locally so I then finished with 1/2" foam board radiant barrier from Lowes. I cut chipboard into strips and screwed them to the runners between the roof trusses and then stapled the radiant barrier to the chip board. Worked well until the ends at the eves where I could not get a stapler into . The foam board was much easier and looked better at the end. Cost was about the same for the material, but installation was much easier with the foam board. Just used fender washer and screws to attach to the chip board. I've not seen any condensation since installing the insulation.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

So yes...Carolina carports is where I got my building....so as for the "snow breaks" there is a company around here that makes/shapes roofing and trim in all the colors that carolina carports makes...there are also little tabs you can put on the building...might have to do a bit of leg work to find a local source....I'll be insulating my building sooner or later...have a "water" issue right now...water coming up form behind the building during major storms...gotta get that fixed and then I'll get rocking with some insulation....actually considering an expansion of the building...extending it to twice the length and putting in one more door and a workout room inside...we shall see

Thank you

[@josephdobbins1185]

have you had any problems with the pipe boot condensating and dripping into the living area ?

[@bigdaddyrabbit9695]

Now for my own curiosity because I’m about to do this also, could you go out the side of the building instead of the roof?

[@drakeswake]

Does the Tee pipe you added work well for cleanout?

[@brucedeville9053]

Is the insulated pipe strictly to prevent discoloration? I have a workshop constructed very similar to yours except my sheeting runs vertically.

[@jbarile1]

Love your video! Just started following your channel. I’d like to ask why did you go through the roof versus the wall? My wife and I just started making KZbin videos (Off-Grid on Friday) to chronicle our journey on developing our property. I am hoping to have similar success with my project. Any info on why you went through the roof would be great. Thank you!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

went through the roof so that I had more pipe exposed in the building...thus more heat used...didn't wanna discolor the outside of my building with the heat either

[@rickh3547]

Wood stove firebox should be raised 18” off the ground when installed in a garage or shop in case you spill flammable liquids and should also be in a location where it cannot be hit by a vehicle, especially since the stove is holding up the chimney(not to code)Also the rubber flashing is not rated for the high heat that a wood stove gives off. I understand this is a “agricultural situation” but this is fire and codes are there to keep you and your family safe. I could go on about what is not to code but I would just like to say get it professionally done. Stay safe.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

The pipe is supported up on the roof.....the rubber gasket is high heat and yep..it's made for this application. I hear ya on the 18 inches off the ground...hit by a vehicle? Yep..all that you're saying makes perfect sense. We're talking about a free wood stove someone gave me...in an agricultural building....I'll take your advice when we build our big shop

[@dunlapmichaell]

How much double wall pipe did you use in total?

[@metalshopfantasycamp1883]

Nice job. Do the instructions for the rubber cap recommend cutting the hole in the ceiling that large?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

No sir...to be honest I didn't read the instructions word for word...I just installed it in a manner that wouldn't discolor my roofing material and would still hold. 6 years later and it's as good as new my friend

Josh what roof collar did you use

[@edgehabitat]

Thaaaaank yoooou! Exactly what I've been searching for!!!! Can you tell me please, what exactly is that piece that connects your single wall pipe to the insulated?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

it's an adapter piece you can find at Lowes..typically an off the shelf product

[@jonjohnson2706]

Farmer where did you purchase the rubber gasket?

[@akaredcrossbow]

Why no support inside the building up near the ceiling for the heavy double wall pipe? It would be a disaster if for any reason that thin black smoke pipe deteriorated and all that weight came crashing down inside the building!

[@JPGtampa]

Horizontal metal siding? Won't that hold a lot of dirt?

[@robroney1574]

I'm in the process of doing this myself. Quick question for you. Is there a reason you made hole so large through the roof? Was wondering if you had it to do over again if you would cut the hole at say 8 inches in diameter vs 12.5 you did. I was thinking I would want my pipe hole as small as possible so the pipe barely has any play in it. Thanks in advance if you respond. Great video!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I cut it large so that heat transfer would not make the painted roof finish degrade and thus cause it to rust prematurely

[@fasnuf]

Your building is like mine but I have the double bubble plastic insulation. I'm concerned about melting the insulation.

[@minnesotabirch7209]

At 4:55, you refer to the adapter. I cannot find that part. Do you have a link or a part number?

[@arubaoccidential1460]

I have the same steel building and wanting to install my wood burning stove. Questions are 1. the Black Pipe how do you get the right lengths and also how do you seal the seams. The 6 " pipe I saw at tractor supply have a seam not solid round. 2. How long is the double wall pipe that sticks out of the roof and the part that attaches to the back pipe inside the building. 3. Whats the alternative to seal up the hole in the roof around the pipe. Thanks Bud From the Catskills New York State.

[@jimcole6423]

I used double-wall pipe from the rafters through the ceiling. Single wall from the rafters to the stove. There is an adjustable section of pipe you can purchase. Used dektite sealing boot and a sealant called "through the roof" it is the best sealant for this application in my opinion. As far as seams: top piece slips into piece below it so creosote doesn't leak outside of pipe. Secure with screws min. 3 at 120 degrees about the perimeter of the pipe at each joint. Hope this helps.
