I was wondering why you didn't use the existing flue outlet at 1.20 which is smaller in diameter and why was it necessary to use such large diameter exhaust/flue pipes.

The bend at the end of the flue pipe could have been better positioned by being placed facing away from the window, as directed towards the window, there is a real danger of exhaust fumes flue gases re- entering the dwelling and also risk of heat damage to window panes.

@slocar1 I can send you the plans if you want.

how well did this stove heat up your place? have any problems with it?

how hot would you save your pipe would get up to?

Its a good video, nice to see the fire.

The stove heats well, about 10degrees/hour increase. Only some problems with the chimney and draft on the first few days, trying all possible combinations of flue shape. my pipes have never been above 175F where they begin. There is about 30 feet of pipe in the forms, so they are warm when they leave the house

What was used for the window? Love that some one has fixed the one thing these stove were missing!

I went to the resell store and got a $1 pyrex dish (about 9x9)..........but I tested it over a hot fire outside to make sure it would be safe, also set it back about 3in. from where the front brick would go normally

thanks,

Thanks for this video of the stove, It is one of the best so far for actually showing a "complete" stove and how it goes together, been looking for one of this style for awhile.

WOW and the exit gas is so cool you don't have to worry about the shopping bag touching the pipe at 1:30. Cool.

@DCVU2 For a simple diagram watch this video:

"Ideas for homemade stove and heater. Pt. 2" by trailkeeper, video #: R7Us7TndwE8

It has a "Input Cool Air Pipe" vent on the bottom and the chimney exhaust vent at the top.

The air comes in from outside, is preheated by passing along the underside of the combustion chamber, is then used in combustion and then goes up the exhaust pipe.
