Wood Stove Install- Stove Pipe And First Fire

[@henryzabel1746]

As a former firefighter I wish you had run two 45 elbows or preferably straight up . The ninety degree bends slow the exhaust gases and can cause more soot build up . More often than not when responding to chimney fires we would find the people choked the fire down too far or were burning green wood . Make sure you get a hot enough fire every time you use the stove . Here is a chimney fire fighting tip . If you have a true air tight wood stove or insert with a good chimney and get a chimney fire . Take a large glass of water and quickly open the door and throw in a glass of water and close the door and choke off all the air . Water turns to steam , expanding about 1,600 times while turning to steam and cutting oxygen from fire . Looks like a nice stove . Been running our wood stove for 37 years , still works as well as when new .

[@jimmurphy4703]

I wholeheartedly agree ! As a retired sheet metal worker a 90deg elbow just chokes the draw of the fire

[@thomasbrysonyopp4210]

Another thing if you have an open fireplace and you have a chimney fire sprinkle salt across the top of the fire and it will slow it down

[@MrCheckitout123]

with that those angles, the smoke will cool and leave more creosote from the 1st angle and up. also, large part of the stack is outdoors and subject to the temp outside which will cool the smoke. if the fire chokes out when starting, that is a good sign the airflow is being restricted and time for cleaning. clean that stack every 2-4 weeks, he will have no problem. add a battery operated smoke alarm above the stove, if he does have chimney fire, the smoke alarm will save his ass. the alarm won't go off upon starting unless the fire is being choked out, which means clean the stove and stack.

[@boolikesrum]

That is great advice..thanks.

[@jaykeep3787]

Henry Zabel, As a mason for almost 40 years I find that fire fighters give some of the worst advice to home owners when it comes to chimneys. Id encourage people not to take your advice and think logically about a cup of water being able to do anything but maybe put out the fire in the fireplace or woodstove, and also think about what will happen if you get cold water on the glass doors or window of your wood stove. So not only would the chimney still be a roaring fire you'll have broken glass and even more oxygen rich air feeding the fire because you've lost your door. A fire suppression stick, such as the one made by Rutland, would put the fire out almost certainly and if not add another stick. Secondly always burn seasoned firewood. If you don't know what seasoned firewood looks like or you buy your firewood from someone I would recommend buying it a year in advance. Store it outside with the top covered and keep it off the ground, pallets work good for keeping airflow circulating through the stack and keeping it off the ground. A few months prior to using your now seasoned firewood cover entirely to keep the sides from getting wet. Have a your chimney cleaned and inspected yearly. Add a creosote fighter to your arsenal. I have seen it come in a powder form and liquid. I have personally seen that this stuff works if used accordingly. But the chimney will still need to be properly sweped to clean out the loose creosote. As far as the elbows on this gentleman's woodstove he is more than fine as far as draw goes. Having the pipe that runs horizontal coming out of the stove pitched up hill is more important than a couple of 90's restricting airflow. Look up what a masonry heater is. By some of the comments I've seen they shouldn't be able to even burn properly with all of the 90 degree turns they make. Yet a properly built masonry heater is 80- 90% efficient. Which rivals most natural gas furnace. I tell people if you burn properly seasoned firewood and have your chimney looked at by a professional the chances of a chimney fire in nearly zero.

The area surrounding the stove is so clean and Beautiful. Simple is sometimes the most beautiful look.

[@ingridjohnson5276]

I'm in the process of installing some Imperial stove pipe myself which is why I watched your video. Sticker tip: Many adhesives are oil soluble. Peel off paper with fingernail best you can. Dab on generous layer of ordinary vegetable / cooking oil (olive, canola, whatever) with a paper towel and leave for an hour or two. Put a few drops of mild liquid dish soap on and scrub with a soft cotton rag (cut up old t-shirts) and a little warm water. Rinse, dry and repeat if needed. I got all the adhesive off of these on the 2nd round.

[@kristieingram2039]

I grew up with electric heat and wood stoves in our home.... In the kitchen we had an electric stove and a wood burning cook stove..... My dad was a firm believer in alternative energy and it came in very handy thru ice storms and snow fall.....

[@IvoryS2012]

Omg! I'm so upset on how you pulled that bush out. I paid someone to pull my bush out. I wish I watched your video before and I would have done the same thing you did! Thank you for that. I love the stove. I'm going to get one. Thanks again for the video. You did great.

What a great transition from the outdoor wood burning stove to this indoor burning stove! Now you will be able to devote the time saved to other daily tasks! Great job!

[@detzlerangela]

I was impressed with the way he removed that bush. Now I've found a easier way to remove every bush and tree on my property. I'm over here doing it the hard way. I'm also amused by the firefighters and masons going back and forth about who is right. Now I don't know who to listen to. What's the best guide for learning how to clean a maintain a fire place ? I've never used my first place yet. I'm actually nervous to do so. Thanks for the feed back.

[@joycemastaw910]

Looks great. So cozy and warm looking. Can't wait to hear how well it's heating upstairs bedrooms I know you're going to love it

[@billg1527]

We have two Lopi stoves in our house, its all about air control and good DRY hardwood with wood stoves, you will be amazed at just how the slightest air adjustment makes as to how fast the wood will burn, once a good hot fire is established with the flues open choke it off some and you will be able to learn how the flame reacts to just the smallest flue adjustment and go from there for a good long burn overnight with plenty of coals in the morning to start a new log. Congrats on your new stove, looks really good.

[@yellowdeer7163]

So glad you don't have to fight the cold anymore. It looks great! Enjoyed the series, God Bless.

Sweeeeeeet. I like the rocks. And the wood wall behind. That’s a super cool nature and natural look

It's insane how much wood stove , and the flue pipes cost.

I hope the best for you. When I ran mine in my house it was very warm in the room that it was in but the upstairs was always cold. That's why I went to the outdoor boiler. Please keep us posted!!!

Nothing better than wood burning stove/oven - just wait till yall bake and cook! My grandma had the most amazing one and it's one of my most fond of memories. ONE question: how are yall going to avoid slipping, tripping on the rocks and edge? And NOT getting spills on the rocks?

[@scottbrown3674]

Keep a good hot temp going-dry hard woods and dont leave unattended. You will be fine. The 90 bend off the stove keeps heat in the pipes to radiate in that room. Take it apart once in a while and check and clean it.

[@melvis2017]

Great job and appreciations you make so confident to install mine I just purchased today.wish you good winter with allot of heat.thanks from Denmark 🇩🇰

Yea it also costs $6k 😂

[@BigP.Energy]

How do you like this 4 years later?

[@jimmartin3833]

Look into Gallium heating pod's. The Gallium is inside sealed tank's that absorb heat and will give off that heat slower and help's keep a house or tent warmer then just burning wood has the stove will cool off very quickly and the Gallium will slowly give off the stored heat. 😊😉

[@SethsBudgetBuilds]

I really like the set up inside the house looks really good.

[@MAGAMAN]

Your cat is really upset you removed that bush. Must have been his favorite bush.

[@Andy-ir1sj]

I bought the same stove last year and had to replace it after 1 month. The reason being, you cannot put enough wood to last all night and still have ambers in the morning. I would have to get up in the middle of the night to put more wood in it, not enough volume.They look great and provide good heat, but not for long enough. I would use this stove as a " fireplace" light it up on a cols day on the main floor as a secondary source of heat, cheers ! your set up looks great !

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I would say that really depends on wood. If I put in a nice big piece of hardwood I wake up at 630am and there are still embers. Also, leaving 2 inches of ash in the bottom helps, I always have a bed of hot embers in the stove and can just through in some wood in the morning a d it gets going again.

[@jeffreywolf5235]

I've recently done one of those it's a real pain in the neck getting those roof brackets on there. Please be careful. However I suspect that you did this 3 years ago it's all done by now and everything went in without too much of a problem.

[@MuzzleFlashTV]

From what I’m understanding the wall thimble provides the 2 inch clearance to combustibles required? If so then you just cut a hole big enough for the thimble to pass through?

[@kromair22]

Code in any area, and choice of install design, will be a game changer. Good video of basics!

[@edbenedicto]

Hi, this is regarding your goat milking. Lumnah Acres looks to have a pretty good way during the milking of stopping the animals kicking. Since this video he’s also added non stick surface to the floor of the milking area. And added red color to the inside of the goat shed. Around three minutes into the video he starts milking. Cheers.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Best way to get stickers or sticky stuff off of almost anything without damaging most things is Ronsonol lighter fluid and it doesn’t stain because it evaporates.

[@truckerenoch8824]

Hit stubborn stickers like those with a hair dryer. If they don't pull right up then apply a *small* amount of acetone with a Q tip to just the backing of the sticker and scrape at it with an old fuel rewards card, or something like that.

[@kjamesjr]

Nice. Now you just need to get your furnace working right for when the stove dies down in the wee hours of the morning. You should see a huge improvement.

I just changed my chimney for my outdoor wood broiler and it was a smaller chimney with the T fitting and all! I wouldnt think a house chimney would have been larger but i guess so! Nice work though! Looking good!

[@bigazmark]

I believe this is the most efficient ways to heat due to the stove and flue being exposed.

[@ellenm3803]

It looks lovely but if front of house was an issue why not have the pipe exit the other internal wall - on side of house? 🙏

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Really liked both of your stove videos Explained a lot and answered a lot of my questions $$$$Pricey stove but it definitely looks like it’s worth the money Thanks for sharing

[@ventusvero4484]

As someone that is adding a wood burning stove in the basement, be wary of 90 degree bends. Short chimney's with 90 degree suffer greatly from reduced draft. Not always the case, but use 45s when possible. Most manufacturers or permit offices have limits on use of 90 degree bends, so consult and read up before diving in.

[@danchauvin9896]

Love the stove. I heat my house with a wood burner also but I don't have the oven option. I have a straight pipe up through the ceiling so cleaning it is pretty easy. I'm hoping you'll do a video the first time you clean the pipes! The largest piece of seasoned hardwood that will fit in the box should last the night. SE Michigan wood burners unite! (or ignite)

[@MrScttwilliamson]

TO all you firefighters and metal fabricators...two 45° elbows equal one 90° T in terms of EVL. I'm a licensed installer, those are my qualifications in the matter

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Lol, thank you for some common sense

[@SamA-jg8vy]

LOL... that was awesome. I don't think I'll ever pull another shrub by hand again! LOL

[@ronyerke9250]

Some kinds of adhesives used on stickers are able to be dissolved with oil. Try olive or peanut oil. Peel off any glossy layer first. Are you going to use the outdoor burner in the barn?

[@gentlemensedge5503]

Excellent stove and installation. I would have liked to see the exterior mounting brackets stand further out to allow the pipe to be completely straight but I'm sure you did what you could and that's still excellent.

[@accessfm]

Should have been 2 X 45 bends instead of 90s... Just for safety.

That's what I was thinking!

Love that stove. I'm putting one in my basement. Fortunately, the chimney can run up the far side of the house that we don't really see. Think I'll have the same set up as this, but I'll have to run through a concrete wall out of the basement. We have a small window that might be at a good location to use.

I've read you don't want an exposed chimney on the outside of the house due to draft and creosote or something like that... How well has this worked for you and how often have you had to clean it now that you are a few years in?

Are your chimney pipes galvanized or stainless steel? Do you have 30 degrees elbows on the chimney or 45 degrees? Thank you, as I am doing the same project!

[@spencerhansen8374]

So what is in the wall to the right that didn't allow you to go out to the side of the house? Seeing it in a corner it seems that either wall would be an option.

[@68mustang90]

Hay you got an Ozzy built fire. I have two of these with out oven. Just some tips on running it use bottom vent only to start or recover a fire. Once fire is lit close bottom vent and use the side air control. After stoking when I first got mine I had both vents open and forgot about it. The dam thing was glowing red hot and the smell of paint was strong. Oops. The great thing is the fire can be slowed right down. 👍

[@106pricey]

Nice install and stove. You will find out that stone you have will warm up, which is a good thing to retain and distribute heat. It shouldn't get above 80 or 90, nothing to worry about.

[@happytobsaved]

Try a hair dryer on the stickers , they will come off with no markings. Heat it up with the hair dryer and it softens the adhesive then they peel off.

Can you do a video about the type of fire and building codes that are required for the stove you installed.

The only question I have was im surprised that there isn't a air vent to the outside. Stoves need lots of oxygen. And two stoves I've helped install had a feed pipe that was optional to the outside. We ran a vent to the outside and wow did it make a difference on the efficiency and soot. Hotter fire means less smoke etc

I love my wood stove. Everyone that has a house should have one. If the power goes out in the winter your not going to freeze to death. Free heat . Just cut down trees in the summer and split and stack. My heating bill in the northeast winter is only 290 bucks a winter. With oil steam heat .

[@EstonianBerserker]

I have a question. I’m currently living in a traditional twin home so thats with a long hallway with rooms off to the side w/ doors. If I were to put a wood stove on one end of the house (living room), how can the heat travel down the hallway to the other end of the house and entering the rooms off to the sides?

[@kylehiltner4185]

nice looking stove. The only question I have in my mind, not having used that style of stove, is if the box is big enough to last all night. The fireplace insert I use in winter is just big enough to burn all night long without me having to get up and put more wood in.

[@thecynic807]

I don't think it will heat his whole house. I think he should have got a new electric heater.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I am just getting things figured out and the type of wood does make a huge difference but I imagine in the coldest nights I will need to fill it just before bed, turn it down fairly low and then get up early to get it going before the kids and wife get up for breakfast. Just part of the routine but it is supposed to have an 8 hour burn time

[@dustinpollard6237]

I had a pellet insert last year and just finished my restoration of a Harman Magnafire Elite coal insert and had first fire last night. Its a lot to learn, but with the old pellet and so far this one, i just get up around 530 and go clean the burn pot and get it warm for my girls before they get moving. Im burning wood until its cold enough for 24/7 coal, but the 40,000 btu pellet insert heater heated the entire 2,000 square foot house in record cold with a rookie burner

[@chetlangford2144]

I'm new to this but why not a 60 degree angle instead of a 45? At the top of the stack? Seems like that hard of a bend would block volume? But please let me know just want to know !

If at anyway possible, stay away from horizontal pipes . That’s where stuff is going to sit inside of pipe . I have a small section of horizontal pipe and no matter hot hot I run stove, this is where any build up will be when I clean out pipes and chimney in the spring .
