That's pretty impressive all around! I'm sure the folks at Woodstock would like to see those pictures. Good to hear that the stilts saved you. Did you or the installer do the rigging? Must have been slow going. What was the lift of your hoist? How many times did you have to set the stove down and re rig?
...ran new duct from above the stove to the bedroom on the 1st floor below with an inline blower.
Did you check code on this? Typically, Mechanical codes require air returns (which is what this is, functionally) to be at least 10' horizontally from a solid fuel-burning appliance. Rick
Machria, I almost bought a house in Bellport in the 1980's, but wound up in Patchogue instead (after Huntington, St. James and Centereach) and burned coal gleefully and leisurely for several years in town close to the bay. I wish I had gone for Bellport but it was $20K out of reach - life would've taken some different turns for sure. I'm in Minnesota now, trying to keep my bum warm, and will keep the blog informed of my exploits. Best of luck with the stove.
Gotta say your installer is top notch with great rigging skills! I would expect to pay a large fee for such an installation. This has to be the most challenging installation I have ever seen..

Nice flipp'n place!
Will the wind off the ocean cause you much headache with the draft?
I noticed the offsets on your black pipe, did you consider rear venting?
Hmm I thought the feedback was pretty positive on the PH.. Seen it in person and loved the secondaries on that stove!Machria,
I see you have joined the family of PH owners that none-owners often believe to be exaggerating. We owners find it hard to not respond to the "observors" who claim this stove is a failure in design....now you know first hand why. An absolutley fabulous, beautiful, owner friendly, safe stove that is ultimately controllable and will heat your home whether it is 55 degrees or minus 35 out.
So glad Woodstock designed and built this stove. It was worth the 6 plus year wait with my FIreview (also a beloved stove, perfect for the slightly smaller home).
