Uh, so I've heard . . . I'm just glad I didn't call them Jimmy Choos or something like that . . . then you guys would really wonder about me.

OK, time to go out and put on some Red Wings and uh go do something manly . . . like fight a fire, kill a bear bare-handed or go start up some high horse power engine. ;) :)

Actually it can be sheetrock. You need 18" clearance measured perpendicular to the pipe. Since the pipe enters that back wall horizontally it can be sheetrock so long as the proper thimble is in place.

You'll probably want to put that connector pipe on before you start the stove.

Why the huge rear clearance? Can't that stove be placed much closer to the wall?

We live in a fairly small house with the old Vogelzang, I took the pipe off so I can walk "through" it in the summer....Im going to move it back about 4" to give me the specified clearance in the front.

Of course I'm still wondering what's with Slinger's candle, vacuum and tan pumps in his Fortress of Manly Solitude . . . I suppose the remote kind of offsets those other items. ;) :)

Compromises, dude......compromises :)


The Vacuum is manly, it's a Dyson.....It's like cutting the grass, inside.
 
***Update***


We put her through the paces the past two days and all I can say is WOW! It is definitely an interesting and powerful stove. Went from 66 to 74 upstairs in a matter of hours, and now Im setting here with the windows open wishing the damn fire would go out.

Its running 450-500+ on the stove box itself, 350 6" from the stove on the vertical pipe (16" total) and 300 half way on the 24" horizontal into the Chimney....

Hell, I am a little disturbed with all of his attention to detail he never mentioned the fire extinguisher. :coolsmirk:

Good job on the stove. I think you are gonna be completely blown away with the performance of that stove in comparison to the death box you replaced.

Yeah, I'm a firefighter . . . we're easily distracted by . . . hey was that a snowflake that just came down . . . anyways as I was saying we're very easily . . . you know I think I need a haircut . . . OK, get focused Jake . . . ;) :)

On a serious side, I also think the OP will love the new stove.
 
Looks good! Are you on a concrete slab then? cause if not, then I don't think you have the R-value underneath the stove to meet required specs. I think I read elsewhere today that it needs R value of at least 1.5.
