That fireplace flue may not be certified to connect to a wood stove. Very few are. He's better off dropping a 6" liner down.
I've been having little take the chill off fires for most of this month so far. If its below 70 in this house it feels chilly so a small fire in...
What about an insert off-set box? they aren't very pretty but maybe you could have one made locally that would look a bit nicer....
Wow, and I thought I was anal about monitoring temps. Should be some interesting info to share.
I agree with Jeff, can you move the stove forward a bit and rear vent with a tee and a straight shot up from there? If not maybe visit a local...

I would say 8", looks like a big stove and probably a big wood eating machine. Your probably better off selling it and getting something more...

My latest Bohemian Pilsner. 100% Weyermann Bohemian Pils malt, Magnum and Saaz Hops and Wyeast 2124. [ATTACH]
My wife makes me cave at 70 but that's fine by me.
Second question, do you use gasket cement or gasket glue?
That fireplace is awesome! I don't blame you for firing it up as soon as possible.
Got some sun today but the temps were still only in the 50's, still enough solar gain that I should be good without fire this evening. The Sun is...
No bends or kinks. I ran it all of last season with no problems. I'll probably just go back to monitoring flue and stove top temps and use the...
I think I jinxed myself, my probe seems to be messed up, its reading all over the place. I wiggle the wire and it jumps up and down hundreds of...
All grain BIAB brewer here. Mostly I brew lagers. I have an Oktoberfest on tap right now with a Bohemian Pils and Munich Dunkel on deck. Just...
Another cat stove that hasn't been mentioned is the Dutchwest. I always liked the looks of those and haven't heard many complaints on performance.
Lite off! [ATTACH]
