I have asked my brother-in-law to come and help me get the stove inside. I moved everything out of the way last night so if we can get it on the hand dolly, it will be wheel and place; I hope.
They have just left, the stove is sitting in the lounge on the hearth. I am in the process of putting it back together. To make it even lighter, I took the heat shields off, those shields are heavy metal, this is no cheaply built stove. I may need to go get more stove pipe. I will need to cut the pipe to length as the lengths at Tractor Supply was limited. How do I cut the stove pipe?
Tractor Supply had a pretty Ashley pellet stove on display with a beveled glass door; sign stated it was discounted $300.00.
That was being smart; my problem was I was unsure of the stove and the hearth etc. I probably did everything backarsewards as Dad use to say. I am heading back to Tractor Supply, they had some 12 inch lengths that may work better.
if you are getting snap-lock pipe you can cut it before you lock it together with aviation cutters or tin snips, after it is locked together you can use a dremel tool or die grinder
Good idea on cutting it before snapped in, HD I snap it together and use the angle grinder w/ a thin cut wheel to cut to final length.
Dittos. Except I clamp the angle grinder in the vice and hold the black stove pope with gloves and cut it on the thin cut wheel. Very carefully.
Angle grinder would work well too I prefer to cut it after it is locked with the die grinder, gives a nicer cut than snips
Makes it WAAAY easier. My time and psychological stability and worth the few bucks to use that stuff.
One piece inside another. Got mine at a local stove shop, made by Heat-Fab. Kinda like a Trombone slide.
The single wall slip pipe I got was inexpensive, it's 24" diameter is just slightly larger than a regular 6 inch pipe
Just looked it up... How does it "seal" up? This could make taking the flue pipe off for cleaning, easier?
