Complete installation top to bottom

Here is one for you. Bet. You have never seen a pic like this before! I was carrying wood in and just happened to notice that if I open my back door I could take a picture of the complete Hampton installation top to bottom. Here it is.

 

Ha, that's a cool pic.

 

You're lettin' out the bought air

 

That is a great pic!

 

It'd seem from your pix that you'd need more chimney height. Just saying.

 

Looks to be but 12-13'..

 

That's cool!

 

Awesome shot!

 

Great pic. Always like sewing others installs.

 

The picture is a little deceiving maybe. It is 13 ft. The Hampton requires at least 12 for my altitude and I thought about putting another section on when I installed it. But I would have had to support the chimney if I had gone any higher (it is about 4 ft above the roof. 5 ft or more requires support. I didn't want to do that if I didn't have to, so decided to try it. Never has been a problem. Plenty of draft. In fact, on very cold windy days, and a load of Ash, I have to use my pipe damper, which I put in just in case. It would have been more difficult to add later. Another section of chimney would have been easy.

 

That's a great shot!

 

Certified106, I thought it was kind of unique and that you guys might enjoy it.

 

Pretty neat Chief, is the other chimney for the Buck and does it have a liner ?

 

Yes and Yes. The old Buck was a slammer install for many years. It was UL Certified and the manual told you to install it that way. But as time passed and many years of lots of creosote, despite how I burned, I kept looking for a better way. Even before the modern flex liners were available, I started sceeming a way to hook it up direct with solid pipe. About that time, they came out with the flex SS liners, and I went for it. It was a miracle! It turned the old Buck into an efficient clean burner. Well, not as efficient or clean as my new little EPA Hampton, but close. I now only clean my chimneys once a a season, and both have very little to clean out. The Buck, admittedly a little more than the Hampton, but not much, and certainly not enough to ever have a flue fire. I always tell people, you can't have a flue fire if there isn't anything in the flue to burn! I used to have "anything to burn" in my chimney, but not anymore. The direct connect SS liner turned the old Buck into a new stove!

 

That is a unique picture, cool

 

nice shot Chief!

 

Thanks Mike! Sorry it is not an Englander, but this is my wife's stove! in her kitchen, and she picked it out.

 

Is the rest of the house, "yours"????
