I love then myths about chimney cleaning. I've heard the all of the following remove all your creosote if you put them in your stove or sit them...
The IS outside air kit is very reasonably priced.
It's bracing every 8 feet for Selkirk pipe. Not sure where they got 5 foot from on that site- although it certainly wouldn't hurt, especially in...
Has anyone had to replace the gasket on the ash pan door? Can some of you take a look at the bottom of yours for me? Seems like it would be the...
In my expirience, it's the cast iron that creaks and cracks when it warms up. Never bothered me anyway, but once I took out the alarm clock the...
Yes, it's double wall.- although with nothing combustable behind it, I might have been able to go even closer. I needed 6 inches for the 90degree...
I have metal studs and concrete behind mine so I could technically hug it to the wall. I have a six inch gap behind the heat shield and the stone...
I'm heating almost 2400 with nearly the same setup, including the stairwell and placement in the basement. Winters sound a bit worse though- it...
Nice. I have a very similer setup. Is that 1100 square feet including the basement?
I put the pre-production into the 700's many times- enough to burn the red color off the over fire zone on the thermometer. The shell wasn't...
I've been experimenting on the IS with simply leaving the primary air open more. I'm getting longer burn times than is helpful anyway since it is...

Stoves that use that pipe are not as common as 6 inch, but with the area you want to heat you may very well end up with one. You could get your...
Those are pretty hard to destroy without it being obvious. Looks for seems coming apart. If they have been outside and the shell in compromised,...
Monoprice.com and partsexpress.com has the best deals for stuff like that.
I have the first set up, but with the height speakers a little low. I plan to raise them and at some point get some SVS prime elevation speakers....
That will definitely help. I'm interested to know how it works.
Do you have to clear any overhang? When you start going through a studded wall, 8 inches of foundation, and an offset, you have a long horizontal...
You are very close to the minimum. I've done 2 chimney setups with the IS just like yours. My new one has 19ft outside and a relatively long...
The payback is defiantly not in performance- it would be convenience or to make up for not getting ahead on your firewood supply. If I was buying...
