new wood stove break in

[Chopper]

last one eh :-S . i went there and they had this one and a 12 in the box on the pallets. they told me that they had no more in the back room. watch and we'll prombaly see more there for a even lower price,.... maybe?.

you missed out on the cheap chimneys. i was buying selkirk metalbesto pipe at northern wholesale on brown rd & joslyn. luckly i bought and installed my chimney last year. they are now bought out by a bigger distributer and the good deals are gone. i went back to return a pipe i did'nt use and the new owners would,nt return it. but they offered to sell me what they had in stock. they wanted to get rid of it. so you may want to check just to see.
i bought both my house and garage chimney threw the old owners. each cost me around $500 from the stove to the cap. the house is 6" galva temp and the garage is 8" stainless steel both selkirk brand. it was a awsome deal. most the fire place stores around us want around $1000 for a complete chimney. check with TSC in lapeer or romeo for chimney pipe. also the ACE on joslyn rd in gingerville sells wood stove stuff. i have been from waterford to port huron searching wood stoves and assesorys. good luck, and let me know what you find. and dont mix brands.

where are you guys getting these tempratures from? is this stack temps, or the actuall temp of the fire box itself. where are you putting these thermostats at? ILL be firing up big yo tommorrow. i have a probe job that goes in the pipe. should I get a magnet type for the box, if so I assume the top would be the best pace to put it
