HI WIP How to install a wood stove

[wyoDreamer]

I love that stove, by the way. Never heard of a FISHER.

Dad installed a Franklin stove in the basement to help heat the house, then changed it out to a barrel stove. my bedroom was in the basement, it would be 90 degrees down there when I went to bed and 60 degrees or less when I woke up.

Oh my. A Fisher. IMO, the BEST stove ever designed. We had a Fisher when we built our house (Papa Bear) but, it was too big for the house, cooked us out! I loved the design of it. It would hold a fire all night, was great for cooking on. Just absolutely loved it. Looking back, I wish we'd put it in the basement, with a plenum over it. THEN, it would not have been too big, and would have heated the entire house.

I orginally thought this was a Papa bear after doing some research, it's a momma bear. It's a "newer" model because it has the heat shields installed and is approved for mobile home use. Fisher being one of the very few wood burner brands to achieve that level of approval.

mine is about 900 square feet, but I mainly worry about heating the living area and the office. I have big south windows on the back 2 bedrooms, and heaters in the aquariums.

My parlor stove doesn't have bricks, but it's old and it heats most of my house, with a little fan put behind it and a small one mounted to the corner of the hall to direct the heat back. View attachment 14921

There was a cute little one like that for sale in town. The lady said it never had a fire in it, she bought if for decoration.

Not sure exactly. We just put one in and in our manufacturer's book it was 9 inches from our side load and ours is a rear exhaust too but put in a corner.

The flooring had to be 52 inches from wall to front and the stove 16 inches in from the front.

And outside I would have to measure for exact measurements bit I want to say it is 9 or 12.

Two Brothers will be over Saturday morning to help me install the Duravent prefab Chimney. I'm going straight through the ceiling, through the attic and out the roof. This is the kit I ordered it's single wall pipe from the stove to the box and from the box to the chimney cap will be triple wall pipe. Here's some other kits from Duravent incase you need something different.

Note the kit does not contain any pipe, so pipe is a separate purchase. If you want to go with stainless steel pipe. I highly suggest to go panning for gold and find a few gold nuggets, you'll need them to pay for the pipe. My pipe is black single wall and galvanized triple wall because im not skilled enough at finding gold nuggets.

I've hung a few sheets of 5/8 Fire Board sheet rock. So it says "light weight" yeah right! Each sheet weights 67 lbs. And since this is Fire Board it's brittle as I don't know what. It is without a doubt the most challenging "dry wall" I have ever hung. But it's better than old school days were you needed a double layer of 5/8 regular drywall to meet code. So I'm not complaining, just sweating a lot hanging it.

Next the Duravent box that came with the kit is about 14 1/2 x 14 1/2 that's so nice because it will slip right in-between my ceiling joists that are framed in on 16" centers. Here's where I'll cut the rough 14 1/2 x 14 1/2 opening and frame it in, in the ceiling. The single wall pipe will be about 19" 1/2 from the wall. Which exceeds the 18" minimum. That's nice 🙂

Finally after searching around duckduckgo images I found this image that appears to be a pretty good pictorial of different types of wood stove installations and clearances. That I thought might be of interest.
