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.

Thank you for your comment.

As for your question; you will have to check with your local county building, planning and zoning department.

Very Nice. Your video is helping me with my install. Your first fire in the stove looks like a flying eagle, makes for a good name too!

@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.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video... I knew by the tooltime music that I found the right video... The job looks great.

@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.

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,

@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

@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.
