These andirons so far just get in the way. ;-)
Pitch: yes Clean: yes, new Wood: 11-17% Door: slowly I had a feeling the rear exit might impact draft. I may have the option to come off the top...
Outdoor temp is about 35. Stove is "downstairs" but only by 3 feet or so. Split-level house, so all but the bottom 3 feet of the basement are...
Doesn't seem to matter...15 seconds or a minute, the smoke spillage is the same. The flames get exited when the door is cracked, so it seems like...
Hello from the land of sky blue water! I'm sitting in front of "break-in" fire #2, watching my new Woodstock Ideal Steel hum along at 475...
First tiny fire! [IMG]
Thanks y'all! Looking forward to lighting it up. The wood used to make the wood room door is actually the pallet/crate the IS was shipped in. The...
Couldn't wait! [IMG]
Final destination, four feet to the west! Tomorrow, hopefully. [IMG]
Looks fantastic! What a great new focal point for the room. Where will you put your wood?
That's an incredible stack of scaffold! No way you'd find me up there. Very nice job on all of this. I'm anxious to see the finished product and...

Yep, it's the rise and run that will be difficult. At 8" from the wall, two 45s won't be on the same plane, at least not without at least one...
That's slick! I love the "coffin" ready to fill with splits! My wood room is about 24" square by about 7 feet tall, so it can hold quite a few...
Hey wildwest - Our chimney is about 21 feet high. What you are seeing in the picture is the SS chimney starting up through the brick exterior...
Great question! The old ZC fireplace was propped up on cinder blocks about 16" high. Those were cemented in place and I didn't think I would need...
I think I've decided to use the rear exit of the stove, and go with DuraVent DVL right from the stove to a tee, then a telescoping length to the...
Current status. Time to build the woodbox door and get the tile down! This week, I hope. Still some finish drywall to do, as well as figure out...
