Wildwest, I have a variety of means to cut bricks but for now I will not be cutting any. My bricks seem to be fitting nicely and appear stable...
Brenndatomu, I have been working on this project with a copy of the code on hand. The mandates are quite common sensical and not difficult at all...
Fishingpol, I have a container of 3000 deg. stove cement but I am hoping that I will not need it. The bricks at the moment are stacked, but I...
Coming out of the stove is single-wall, enters the ceiling with a thimble, and continues single-wall up through the bedroom, to the bedroom...
HDRock, Paul Bunyon, Well, yes, all I have is the 'hole' at the top of the stove. It is somewhat offset to the rear, but I can see no physical...
Yes. That is why I noticed that the one I received with the stove pipe was small. I tend to not burn damped fires. And I like to close the flue...
Brenndatomu, thank you for that info. I was not aware of that. I was already considering fabricating a damper that would completely close off...
Stuckinthemuck, I like the idea of castable refractory but in this instance, I will be sticking with the bricks. The cold weather is just about...
BrianK, Thank you for your reply. Yes, it makes sense to me that the brick protects the metal. So I am wondering whether the inside ceiling of...
LodgedTree, thank you for your reply. I played around with the arrangement until it got tedious. That is why I began to wonder whether there is...
Gentlemen, are there any particular principles to be followed when arranging fire bricks in a wood stove? Below are photos of my wood stove with...
HDRock, Yes, I will be firing her up in the coming day or two and I will surely post a photo.
Dave, the tomahawk and stone ax came to me in a barter transaction. I traded a heavy silver chain necklace for them based upon a mutually agreed...
Blacksmith, Yes. I used good quality stainless bolts and washers. When I took possession of the stove it was a true rust bucket. Every single...
Well, this is a photo of the stove with the accent pieces mounted. Regrettably, they did not turn out as well as I would have wanted, but I knew...
Hi, Paul. Thank you for your advice. Yes, 'experimental' is certainly the word here! The copper tubing should not cost me too much since I...
Installation almost complete. The stove is just about operational. I have to pick up some more bricks. And the accent pieces are not ready yet....
Thanks, Stinny. But the accent pieces are turning out to be a little headache. Re-plating is not an option. I am just too far away from...
FatBoy85, Yes. Indeed, I now know this stove like the back of my hand. A black, nasty, hand from all of the rust that I had to take off of it!...
Jon, my stove, as it came to me, did not have the smoke plate or the screen that you mention. The screen, I suppose, is used when one prefers to...
