Wood Shed Wood Stove

Where'd you get the steel? That looks great.
Am I lookin' at it wrong, or is the stovepipe upside down?

 

Same here, chief!
And who you calling yahoos?!?

 

Yes, the stove pipe is upside down. With The way the stove pipe outlet on the stove was made and the top section there was no other way to install it. I guess they did that because it was made for an outfitters tent and wanted it to Shed Water. Don't know.

 

Can't wait. Bet I will like you!

 

Best kind of yahoos ever

 

Looks good Chief, Eric was on it.....as I was reading through this thread I was going to suggest a reflective panel, as I did similar in my old garage stove years ago and it worked like a charm. I'm sure Buddy will approve this winter with a little heat in the cave.

 

Oh he will for sure although the Beagle in him doesn't require much. Sometimes in the winter he just goes outside and lays down. I love the Beagle in him because it just makes him so easy going, and tough. He will hang with me all day long in any kind of weather.

 

And stay warm!

 

Thanks Scotty. Can't wait for winter now. Sorry about the code violations. But I think warned everyone. It is just a yard/wood shed. With 37 years in the business, when I get done, it will be safe. Wouldn't want to make headlines for sure. "Retired fire chief burns down wood shed". Yikes. I would never live that down.

 

No worries chief. We know you know what you're doing.
Is it just the way the sun is hitting those leaves, or are they turning yellow?
Our maples are getting a little red tinge lately, and the Birch has been turning too. The Birch is actually the first to start and it's my way of knowing it's almost time for a fire.

 

Might be the wood stove for my vardo camper.

Eric is correct on the use of a metal heat shield in front of the durock.

 

Yep. Fall is knocking at our door. Fine with me. My favorite time of year. But hey, you can burn anytime

That's next, MM. Wood stove in my RV.

 

Thanks Papadave for your vote of confidence. I was thinking about that and offer some more thoughts regarding the codes, which I have spent a lifetime advocating and administering. In the case of my wood shed, non- EPA certified, non-UL approved stove and install: codes always require all products and materials to be approved. Usually that means UL or one of the other nationally certified testing labs. Stove manufacturers experiment until they get clearance to combustible's that They want and then they submit to UL for testing and approval. Little known fact, is that the codes allow the AHJ to grant approval as well. Most inspectors are reluctant to do that, however I know this guy and I'm going to give him a shot at it. LOL I am sort of experimenting like the stove manufacturers, and tweaking things to get where I want to be. So hopefully I can get approval from the chief inspector. LOL we will see, he is a tough cookie.

 

There's quite a few of us Yahoo's that haven't met up yet.

 

Update. Heat shield works great! 70 degrees behind it. Heats my wood shed! Buddy can't wait to get out there in the morning when I drink my coffee.
