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.

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.

[@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........

[@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.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

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

[@roscoejones4515]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@peterkoster5053]

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.

[@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!

[@davidtom6120]

GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT WORKERS, AND GREAT SKILLS.

[@rickbell3402]

Thanks for a year of great videos! Merry Christmas!

[@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.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

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

[@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.

[@Aceman597]

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.

[@sroberts605]

In all the time I've been following you I don't think I've so clearly seen the skill and effort gone into filming, let alone the work itself. Great admiration for you, and thank you for all the skills you share! Happy Christmas both!

Your video serves as a refresher course since it's been a while since I installed a stove. I've got one I need to install in the back room of my shop. I've already got one in the front section and it works great.

[@peterfagley772]

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

[@areyoukidding9267]

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.

[@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.

[@johnsadler8637]

Looks like a well -done install! Much better than the quick and dirty installation I did in my shop building with that old Vermont Castings stove we were given. Of course, you’re in an insulated, new building with much more polished finish than our repurposed 1950’s vintage farrowing house! Ours looks ok for what it is. Yours looks really good for anything! Merry Christmas to you both!

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!

[@bay9876]

Great place to cook on for canning etc. and also when you lose power. Some have a kettle on that's always slightly steaming because of the dry heat a wood stove creates. Next is two or more stove fans for heat circulation.
