I have the 2 rivets.

Very strange. You and I must have gotten "new" production units after they made a change. How do you like it so far?

Appears to be very well built... not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. Going to drag into the basement this weekend. It would be nice to run a very small fire in it outside, but would have to add on a stack to pull draft.

Today I had the chimney swept and inspected (see attached). Looks like I need to order that 6" liner (emptying every pocket here)

You are "lucky" in that you can do your own chimney. How tall is it?

Should be easy then. You'll pull a great draft, too. Mine is closer to 40.

Company quoted me today $1,500 for just the liner, $600 to install, $600 to break up the flue liner and $250 to pull my pellet stove liner as to make sure it doesn’t get damaged when breaking out the clay. [emoji15]

When I called them after I first fired it they said people were opening up the slide too much. They must have adjusted that after. I would consider drilling a river so it moved because on a warmer day it would burn too hot. I close mine down and keep the stack temps at 300-350 on days like today. The 550-600 it would run with the inducer would have me opening windows. Just a thought.

I’m sure it would void the warranty on mine if I did it. You’re much more lucky.

How bad is this going to smell when I first fire up the new stove?

Bad. I put a stack on mine and burned it outside first. It still stunk up the house for a week.

 

[Mrpelletburner]

Ok, was going to do the same. Glad I asked [emoji15]

Moving day today.
Would of gone faster/smother if the ground was not mud.

First thing I did was attach (2) 2x2’s with 45’s cut at the ends (skis). Next was to ratchet strap and connect to the ball hich on the truck and pull (this was the quck and easy part). This got the stove close to the opening of the basement. Next I used 1-½” pvc pipes and rolled via ratch straps the stove 1’ at a time (not fun). Some where during the process I got smart and used a 2x6 to lift/push the stove along (lots of mud). Finially got the stove to the bulkhead, sitting on a couple 2x6’s. Because I was by myself, I need to make sure I controlled the descent of the stove, so I attached straps to the front of the truck’s tow points. I also secured a strap over the top of the stove down to the pallet, which kept the stove attached to the pallet. Slowly I moved the truck forward, getting out and assisting the descent. Ended up clearing the top of the bulkhead by ½”, yet it was tight, but cleared. This whole process took about 3-4hrs (should of hired a moving company). The stove made it in 1 pc to the basement, tomorrow I will connect it up.

The one thing I did do is fire it up outside... glad I did as the burn off was a cloud of smoke.

Awesome. Looks like you know what you’re doing. Get those ducts hooked up pronto.

Now that the stove has made it to the basement and is all hooked up, I created another thread for stove feedback and tips. https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/fire-chief-or-shelter-epa-stoves-feedback.167418/
