all you need is something to finish off the face of that riser and i think faux brick facing would look terrific for that back wall. i was surprises you didn't go with a bigger stove after all that trouble, tho
At the time that was all we could get and believe it or not that little stove cranked out some awesome heat! Last year we purchased a much bigger stove with a glass window so we can watch the fire and sold the little one. We put a skip trowel texture on the clearance wall.
@outback124 i hear ya. i first installed a vogelzang pot belly stove to my application (a larger version of your wood burner) and it wasn't right. i switched to a smaller stove, that was both air tight and more efficient (a vogelzang, also) and am doing much better overall, now. sounds like your back wall is both functional and good looking. post a vid
@duaneafields Hello and thanks for your comment. We needed to construct a clearance wall since the stove will be in a small area. I looked all over the internet and I couldn't find any real info; then it hit me, I was a metal stud framer for years and I remembered building furred out walls with 1 5/8" studs so I came up with the perfect solution that made it possible to put the stove as close to the wall as possible and still meet the code requirements.
@joezbackwith2gatz Hello and thank you very much for your comment. Making the video with that music was fun. The original video is much longer and more detailed with music from the Beatles and Jethro Tull. Youtube only allows 15 minutes so it was time consuming to pick out pictures to show the main details.
@sfak5 Hello and thanks; it was a lot of work but making the video was the fun part, especially using the theme song from the Home Improvement show it seemed to fit.
@johnnybagofdonets Hello and thanks for your comment, we enjoy it very much. We installed a much better stove last year with a glass window so we can watch the fire.
Been looking in the Northern Tool Catalog... All fireplace stores at retail price with big mark up. Buddy bought the no-frills Drolet insert Cat. #1589720-1202 via Northern for $1000.00 in heating entire first floor,
That's a novel installation, to say the least. Grout bag -- yeah. That's how I would have done it. A real bricklayer would just butter the sides but then I ain't one of those either. Cheap stove? Yeah, so what. You can always upgrade later. For my own wood stove I used cement backer boards like yours and 12 inch ceramic tiles on the floor and wall up to the ceiling. My flue is just like yours or close to it. No sealant on roof flashing. Was a roofer once. Keep 'em dry. Good work!
@localcrew Hello localcrew, thanks for your comments. We purchased a much bigger stove last year with a glass window. I did put sealant under the roof jack (flashing) I applied it to the roof and slid the flashing into place, maybe hard to see in the picture though.
@MrSchatzyjr Thanks for the comments. As for applying roof cement to the back of the roof jack, I applied a heavy bead to the roof about 1 ½ “ from the edge,so when I slide the roof jack into place I won’t be wiping the cement off it makes for a much better seal and no messy, wasted cement around the roof jack. About the pastry/grout bag, that is generally used when applying sanded grout to glazed tile.
Wow!! Great job on the installation! Looks like you really took time to do it right. It does look like a little much on the construction, but overbuilding it is FAR better than under building it. Plus, you can pretty much throw ANY woodstove on there now, and not have to worry about re-doing your work. Great idea!! Just curious what treatment you used on the wall? Stone or brick? Anyways, great job on everything!!
Thanks for your comment. Yes we overbuilt to accommodate a larger stove in the future. As for the treatment on the clearance wall we simply applied drywall mud using a skip trowel effect with a 12' blade to be painted as soon as we can decide on a color.
Ahh, I see you made a visit to Lowes, I just installed that same flue kit today. Actaully the chimney kit is not a bad one and it was really easy to install, took me 2 hours and I even installed it to code. If you ever want a better wood burner keep your eye on your local craigs list if you have one. I built my own hearth but not vented like that one, good job on the hearth though, should have good heat disapation.
lol i was thinking the same thing all that awesome work and install and then you bring in the cheapest turd stove sold at tractor supply, which i remind u does not come with firebricks.
seems abit over the top in complication... the durock backing is great, but i feel the floor is alot of work over the top. a good wood stove doesnt heat the floor very much, at most it should put 200 watts into the floor. same as having a boiling frying pan on the floor. your design is okay for about 1500 watts of floor dissipation. that said i am abit in awe of the workmaship. i want to go for an art deco faster scheme, still with 3x max watt dissipation in mind.
That stove requires HY-C stoveboard or equivalent, which is one layer 3/8" mineral fiber board, R value of 0.45. His 2.25" brick (R=0.45) and 0.50" cement board (R=0.2) has a total R of 0.65, which is just over the minimum required.
Metal studs instead of combustible wood in the hearth construction are preferable.
Thank you for posting. I found this video very helpful when I installed my new wood stove and I saved $1k...on professional installation. Hope my house doesn't burn down :-)
very good job

Thanks for the great video! It helps a lot. One question, do we need to apply for permit from the county to install this? Thanks.

First you never put any roof cement around the back of the roof boot!!
Second do you think a grout bag wood have worked better for the joints.

No watts or electricity involved here.
That stove requires HY-C stoveboard or equivalent, which is one layer 3/8" mineral fiber board, R value of 0.45. His 2.25" brick (R=0.45) and 0.50" cement board (R=0.2) has a total R of 0.65, which is just over the minimum required.
