The only DIY video that goes over the vinyl thimble install. Thanks for the help!

[@doublewide6]

The stove needs air to burn, if you don't have an OAK it will suck warm air from your house. It will pull or infiltrate air from poorly insulated walls, doorways, windows, etc. With the OAK air is brought in from the outside and used for combustion rather than drawing from the house's warm air.

[@iaevip]

awsume ! ive had my pellet stove for two yrs and have never installed it. contractors asking for ridiculous money to install. Im going to follow your expertise to try and install mine. I see this was part 1 is there a part two. truly thankful for your video

[@doublewide6]

Good! Please give it a thumbs up the more it gets the easier it is for others to find my video and learn how to install their pellet stove.

[@doublewide6]

There is no notation of being 5 feet from stove to termination. They even show a straight out the wall vent in the manual that is less then 3 feet. The shorter the vent the more efficient it is going to be. I vented mine up then out cause a natural draft, and the is what the manual recommends if possible.

[@ammobake]

Live in alaska and thinking about getting new pellet stove installed for this upcoming winter. Thanks for the video. For us in Alaska, the price of fuel oil will eventually reach a point where people just can't afford to live here anymore. Pellets are relatively cheap and they now have a couple places here in town (Fairbanks, AK) that make and sell their own. The only problem is the initial investment to make it happen.

[@doublewide6]

I followed the manual and completely installed the pellet stove according to the venting and manual recommendations. Please explain to my viewers "why they will perish"

[@doublewide6]

I used a solid laundry drying pole that I pulled out of the ground and just had sitting in the shed. The flex pipe is from some sort of a car exhaust flex pipe I found on ebay summit racing flex tube? The end of the OAK is custom made screen that I used a laser engraver to cut. Everything has been working out great even had it fired up today for a little while.

[@slipperyjohnson7016]

I'm a pro installer and hate when I see some yahoo on here installing something wrong. You were doing a decent job until you terminated. Termination has to be 2' above grade, which you are not. You should have come out into a tee then up the wall about 36" then a 90 then cap. Having your cap so low is a fire hazard. Leaves can gather and catch fire or snow can build up and block vent. Did you even read the manual?? I'm not here to start crap, but I hate when the comments are full of "thank yous" for showing them how to do it and you did it wrong. You could actually be responsible for loss of life by showing the wrong way.

[@thewilster1000]

Your comment is much appreciated.. Hopefully doublewide gets the message and corrects his.. No offence should be taken by anybody.. Safety first and corrective action...

[@igotstoknow2]

Also, he wasn't wearing eye protection while using a high speed device.

[@beachbum4fun2]

The vent kit I bought has a diagram on it that describes exactly how it should be setup. You're absolute right, extend through the thimble into the tee, rise up, 90° bend into the end cap. I just wanted to see how the rest of the process should go, cutting through the wall, sealing, dealing with vinyl siding, etc. I like how he used the j-channel siding to frame out the outside of the thimble, I would just seal around the 4 sides before I screwed it down. Water intrusion I think would be a big problem plus your compromising a vapor barrier.

[@jdcook5496]

My manual says 12” above non combustible.

[@robbynv9900]

3ft not 2.

[@doublewide6]

Code calls for a minimum of 12" from wall to Termination. I have 15" because that is how the pipe fell. The longer run is by code to stop smoke from going into the roof overhang / soffit venting. Likewise, with the Western wind that you hear in the video it would turn my siding black if the termination was any closer.

[@thenexthobby]

Nice video. The other reason why it's a good idea to seal the pipe where it comes thru the thimble is because if you don't, it would be an obvious entry point into the wall for air/moisture + bugs.

[@amerlin388]

Thoughts... I would suggest one straight piece (whatever length desired) from the elbow to the outside vent rather than twisting on a second piece (reduce wobble). My situation was a basement installation with vent planned to go through the joist header and a brick wall. There was a 6 inch duct through the wall for a no-longer-used jenn-air stove/grill vent. I hoped to use this for the vent thimble, however it was barely too small. For a temporary fix I made my own thimble using a pair of steel duct round end caps. I connected outside air tubing to 1" pvc pulling air through the thimble. This fall I plan to remove the 6" steel duct tube and use the Selkirk thimble. I will probably still pull the outside air through the thimble, which should actually cool the vent piece; I don't want to cut/chisel additional hole in the brick. I use an upward turned elbow to a vent cap with a rain shield. I'm surprised the cut out piece of vinyl siding didn't have at least one nail. Caulk the vertical vinyl siding cuts just before installing j-channel (maybe you did this off camera). While it's great to have the outside combustion air, it did make me ponder how much somewhat conditioned air is exhausted by a clothes dryer in the home.

[@roberthorton1645]

I have a install similar to this. I was concerned with venting and sparks blowing down to ground, potential fires. I used lava rocks in immediate area under. They will turn black from the exhaust. Also, will blacken wall and possibly nearby windows and overhang. Snow is not an issue as heat melts away clear down to the ground, even in a blizzard. Also, venting low to ground means the large about of smoke during start up (if you have a pellett stove with automatic ignition that turns on and off flame as home heat is required) will be seen from around the base of the home. People are not used to seeing this, and can think your home is on fire. I had one of my neighbors call the fire dept. while I was at work, and they broke into my home only to find it was normal stove conditions. Again, automatic ignition stoves smoke like crazy every time they ignite the pellets. Once the fire is under way, smoke clears up dramatically. All the smoke and black you will see is mostly from start up.

[@christybagoo2293]

I have a pellet stove with auto start an no I don’t get a crap load of smoke, there is a little upon start up but certainly not enough to make one think theirs a fire. If someone’s getting that much smoke then their set up is totally wrong

[@Dieselfreek26]

Very nice video. I installed a roof mount vent on my garage heater last year, but I bought a new house and would like to do a wall vent. This video gave me a great visual of what I already had planned. thanks!

[@surfflyfish4striper]

Thaks so much for this video, I have a wood stove but is a pia and i don't want to get rid of it. so i decided to put the pellet stove in the basement,and this video i what i just needed at the perfect time. glad you made a part 2 as well. Thanks

[@geepee4804]

Nice video, was wondering about the tin tape you mentioned. I have a hole on the inner thimble, would you use the tape as a temporary fix? Thanks for the vid!

[@MisoMichelle]

Could you please explain to me a little more in depth how the OAK works? The stove will bring in air from the outside (how does it do that) and also where is that air going? Back into the stove or into the indoor space or someplace else? Thank you in advance for your time!

[@jayell8253]

Nicely done, but there should be a vertical rise after the clean-out tee and length outside.

[@cdrandi7in]

This is even easier and might be good to put a 4x8.of 5/8 firebrand gyproc to land the 2 piece thimble works on both sides and put pink between if ya want go do 1900% proper.

[@11bravomechinf27]

God bless you sir! I was about to cut thru my block wall until I watched your video.

[@tso115]

Iv ran a pellet stove for years and I can say that I never used rtv on the pipes because it's never hot enough plus it is double walled.

[@Truthfulfisherman]

Do you have to use the silicone? Everyone is split on this. Also when can you use sheet metal screws and when not to?

[@davidberger9183]

I was hoping you could tell me the pipe and end you used to make your oac tube. It looks awesome, I wanted to see if I could do the same.

[@elizabethmilliken1818]

Ours is similar to this hook up.. what we are wondering is.... is it normal for the outside pipe to get very hot???

[@gasp9608]

What size screw do you need for pellet vent pipe and pellet stove adapter ??

[@putheflamesou]

But if worried about hole heat. U can make fake asbestos smear out of drywall mud and zonolite. I am thinking about zoneolite and concrete mix experiment for basement floor great for existing homes? Another day...but don"t forget a trough around the wall in case your tile gets blocked or temp frozen.

[@keithmahler4236]

There is a gap between the pipe and thimble I can see day light what do you recommend fire retardant will stink

[@tomh9061]

I am considering installing a pellet stove in my mobile home, I noticed on the video venting a pellet stove Installation Part 1 that the vent is connected directly from the stove through the wall thimble going outside of the home horizonally to the vent cap with no pipe going up the outside of the building, Is that the proper way of installing ???

[@doublewide6]

Yes the install is up to code, they make specific models for mobile homes make sure you get one designed for a mobile home (most of them can be installed in a mobile home.

[@jennywalton3366]

Did you ever put a stove in your mobile home? I really want to install one in my single-wide, but am scared to death!

[@slipperyjohnson7016]

NO! The cap needs to be 2' above grade. I already posted about this. If you come out of your wall 2' above the ground you can terminate the way he did, but if you're below that you MUST go up the wall.

[@slipperyjohnson7016]

Do it, it's fine. The stove MUST have outside air and MUST be bolted to the floor by code.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Did this make your siding turn black? If not what do u recommend i do so mine doesn't turn black?

[@zac8606]

When installing pellet insert through chimney do I run the oak through the chimney also?

[@putheflamesou]

also would be nice to have chipper or feed system so you can just chip your own fuel for direct feed. Also remember Bamboo grows faster than wood and produces way more oxygen.

[@candlelitskyline5497]

thank you for your idea on the home made OAK :)

[@judyjohnson630]

Thanks for this video. It helped me install my pellet stove.

[@putheflamesou]

these stoves are waaaay better if water heat. And of course floor heat would be even better. Start the revolution. Would like to find out if thermal-electric and batteries can operate the stove off grid.Battery for until heat get up there. That fire is way hotter than u think. It will melt stove gasket, tinfoil, bone and meat.

[@spydie]

too many commercials to watch doublewide6 anymore

[@casperaudi7476]

Wow too too too close too the ground

[@kjp6438]

9:22 that seemed to make a huge difference.

[@kdelg2307]

How far is the pipe sticking from the wall..looks like a foot

[@epicdeuce]

Possible to install one of these in a English Basement condo unit ?

[@doublewide6]

Sure I have one in my basement too. Search my channel for pellet stove and see it.

[@Pontiac2001GT]

The only problem with installing like that so close to the ground is you run a risk of a problem with a big snow fall!

[@jakemcdoodle4960]

Thanks for the video keep uploading I love your videos

[@ProMachinist]

Looks good to me. Thank you for sharing .

[@valthakore6326]

Great work doublwide6!

[@2012nimbus]

Nicely done.

[@memberson]

Hello I have a question can I vent my pellet stove through a window using cement board? Thank you

[@williamVacanti]

Air vent is to close to you ex. pipe. Not good, change it before it's too late. Min 12"

[@danlerdahl1255]

pellet stove pipe install definitely takes a lot less work and materials than a wood stove having to run all the way up through the roof.

[@deiviscarpio3039]

hey. I'm in new york.. can I install one of this in my secund floor ..

[@RoyDeweyStorey]

ya, there is no reason why you shouldnt be able to, find where you want the stove, cut a hole in the wall behind it for the wall thimble,have an exhaust adapter connect to your stove exhaust, then have a piece of pipe connect from your adapter and out the wall thimble

[@Brandonadam209]

Thank you for the video! Sure did help a lot.

[@hairyyeti21]

Just like This Old House!

[@JanetDiaz6152]

Thanks . I wanna Install one myself..

[@carminesilverado]

you did good man

[@RiseOrRelinquish]

How far from a window does the pellet exhaust have to be?

[@hymns2enjoy]

soon to be the one eyed installer - eye gear?

[@kleahy106]

Air intake way too close to the exhaust gases.

[@Aerosmith81984]

i cant understand why you didnt insultation that is fire proof, is this unsafe?

[@putheflamesou]

No it did not do ok. Look up crosslinkconversionsdotcom . These stoves need complete make over. I called my stove company told them to get a water jacket heat exchanger. Few months later I found the above sight. Would be nice if they made em with water jacket in first place. They would be quieter, heat waaay more,,,revolutionary. There u go engineers!! PS: In the utube above the dude would get even better results with floor heat.

[@putheflamesou]

got deleted...all I can say is check out water boiler with pellet stove.

[@putheflamesou]

Save time money and heat(might not meet code bitch) That first hole is all you need. Use the excess size to suck air into the heat exchanger inlet.Hey its cold out right.Also you could use single wall pipe(and longer)(like much hotter regular wood stove) inside for better dissipation before you go out(now cooler) with double wall pipe. If stoves were made right with water exchangers(future?) the exhaust would be cooler to start with. Hiring? I am always thinking(now looking)

[@seoulkidd1]

why can a pellet stove can have a short exhaust

[@JalopyTechnology]

It's a powered exhaust and does not need a draft.

[@alcantrell5340]

@@JalopyTechnology but if the power goes out the fire in the fire pot continues to burn, with the smoke backing up in your house,with no draft like this installation. I recommend you do a run of pipe vertically say 3-4 ft and the use a elbow to termination.:))

[@mikelove637]

There are ways to make your point without being offensive. The man had good intentions.

[@erichaggerty7395]

delete your video you are installing this incorrectly

[@Dgozz122]

Didn't see your correct install vid? Must have missed that one? Care to elaborate? Or just say it's wrong and that's it.

[@ryans1693]

its to close to the ground should be minimum of 24" above ground level for snow, also to prevent any dry debris like leaves catching fire other than that it was a good install

[@alcantrell5340]

@@ryans1693 to add to that, no vertical run of say 3-4 ft, you’ll have no draft, if loss of power the smoke will back up into your house. Yes with no power the unit shuts down… but the pellets in the fire pot will continue to burn. Do it right the first time, you will be glad you did. :))
