You are supposed to be 3' about your roof, for the ambers to go out before they land on the roof other than that I believe you did a good job. 🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔️🌎🔥
Great point…I hadn’t even thought about that! I did decide to go ahead and put another section on it anyway, and that should put me right about 3’. Thanks!
I have had the same issue with finding the proper pipes and connections to go thru the wall. I know this is a shop heater, but the typical rule of thumb is 12" above the peak of the roof for proper draft. and also the pipes should fit male end pointed down so that creosote you're asking about around 19:45 in will drain down the inside of the pipe and burn up instead of running down the outside.
@@texastoy88 thanks for the comment! I did add to the stack outside, to bring it above the peak, but I haven’t tried to reverse the pipes. And I’ve almost talked myself into believing the creosote coming down gives it more character. 😂😂😂
@ I did the same for my shop stove as well. But I am working on a cabin now and wanted to do it more correct and clean looking. And the wife wants it looking good too. lol!
stove pipe is connected backwards, that's why that creosote is dripping out. National fire code for a chimney is 2' above any part of the roof within 10'
Hi Justin, and thank you for the comments! Starting a little over 4 minutes into the video, I explain why I had to do everything backward. It all started when I had to put the female end on top of the stove. I just couldn’t get the male end into the top of the stove. And you’re right, that’s exactly why the creosote is dripping out. I have high hopes that, at some point, the creosote will build up and seal those areas…😂😂😂. Also, I did go back and add more to the stack, once the weather warmed up a little. Now I’m 3’ above the roof peak. All that being said, the stove works great, so I’m happy with it! Thanks again!
Great video! It was informative and got some laughs out of it 😂. Thanks. I agree with what others have said, and I'm glad to hear you've made improvements on your setup. I'm about to install one I got from Tractor Supply in Oklahoma. Wish me luck! Also, I've subscribed and look forward to your videos.
Thank you for the comment and for subscribing! Yes, I was very glad to receive the feedback I got and never too proud to admit when I need to improve something. Good luck with your install!
That was my first wood stove bought from Ace hardware in 1992 a good burner, easy to clean out and can hold some sizeable wood. You did a great job on the chimney stack. I would buy a stovetop fan and blow some of that heat around in the garage.
Thank you so much for the comment, as well as the compliment. It really does put out some good heat, and I plan to do some work on getting the garage better insulated…that should help. We did recently get one of those fans for our indoor stove, and it certainly helps move the air around, so we’ve already decided to get one for this one as well. Thanks again!
I got that same stove but mine is old antique. Mine has vent under door. I piped mine straight up through the roof on my shop. Doesn’t smoke at all when I open the door. Went through the roof for drafting purposes. Hated to cut through the roof but I got it water tight. Great video. Ps insurance will want your stove pipe higher than your roof.
Hey thanks for the comment! Mine’s not an antique but I love that older look it has. I thought about going through the roof, but I have solar panels there, and I would not have felt comfortable cutting through the roof anyway. After the video, I did go back and add more pipe, so it is above the peak. It was just so cold the day I did the video, and my fingers felt like they were gonna break off. Lol thanks again!
@Tyrant051 It does make it so easy I have two Ts on mine. Mine comes out and down my porch, I didn't want to go through my roof and my house has an upstairs and I wanted to get away from my house. It works perfectly and easily to clean.
Fancy snap edits. I like it! 👍 Awesome! 😎 I bet it’s nice having that in the garage! You made it look pretty easy to install too, except for the big black chimney pipe. That darn thing! 😂

@@ajmontgomery4564 thanks for the comment! Yeah I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the male end into the stove. But it works! I’ve burned it the last couple days. Did you get yours figured out?
I ad three sheet metal screws to each joint for safety, starting with the stove. Using smoke pipe for outside piping ensures you have a coloder chimney. Use the double wall like your pipe going through the wall. Nice job
Everything that you did is backwards, wrong and dangerous. To fixed it - uninstall all of the pipe and do NOT cut off the male ends (just turn it around. And yes - it needs to be 2 feer above that peek since the peek is less than 10 feet away. The condensation is also because the pipe is bacwards... and that's all I got to say about all that.
The fluted end always goes down and end with the fluted goes into the top of the stove that way any condensation will go into the stove and not outside of the pipe.
As long You have the fireproof cap on their and it is very secure reason why some people say above the ridge is cuz some installation,s don't have a chimney cap only thing different I would do is instead of a 90degree I would use a T on the outside for better draft I have done hundreds out here in rural Alaska wood stove is a staple source of heat..

What size is your garage? We are trying to heat a 1,080 sq. ft. metal building and are wondering if this 900 sq. ft. one will do. We plan on living there over the winter while we build. Thank you for the video.
@@Mdb75586 glad it was helpful! My garage is about 600 sq ft. I’d say you should get one a little bigger than the one I got. Of course a lot will depend on how cold your area gets. I’m in SW Ohio, so we get pretty cold but not for prolonged periods.
If I were to start from scratch, I would want a free standing wood stove in the house. The one I had years ago came in handy when the cold weather hit and the electricity went out for a couple days. Made it so we could cook on the stove! Cant do that where we are now but we do have a wood burning fireplace (inserted) and a gas fireplace in another part of the house to keep us warm when necessary. We don't heat our home with wood on a regular basis but our furnace decided to break down a couple weeks ago and it took a couple days to get it repaired so... the fireplace was awesome to have! When I describe what I'm doing around the house in regards to projects... it's rare that I use the actual proper word to describe exactly what it is I'm doing or working with... like forgetting that a hammer is called a hammer; happens more times than I like to admit. Oh... and when Michael is helping me, there's a lot of bleeping or removing of words because his go-to is to swear! 😂
Hilarious! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to start a recording over because I forget the word for something…hardware cloth is a big one for me. We do heat entirely with wood now. The first year in this house we would use the central heat at night some, but last winter and so far this winter, only wood.
@@MadRiverHomestead Hardware cloth has been a hard one for me to remember as well because the word cloth doesn't really go with what it is. I always tell myself "what's that ridiculous thing they call this stuff that tries to rip my skin open... oh yeah... cloth". 😆
@@Tyrant051 I didn’t use a wall thimble, but I’ve been wondering if I need to. I assumed not, because I was using the insulated pipe, but I’m probably going to add it.
I think it's great just for the ambience. In the neighborhood i grew up in alot of places had them. Brings back a lot of memories. I miss that tight knit community.
I've had this stove in my living room for 15 year's. When I ran my pipes out of my wall I cut the hole 2 inches bigger than the pipe. The pipe doesn't touch anything going through the hole. And just added my 6" beauty rings. 15 years of zero problems. Well I had to replace 1 exterior pipe from rust. I have plywood on my walls behind my stove and I spray painted it with white high heat engine paint 15 year's ago, again zero problems.
The CRIMPED End goes in to your Stove, as the Creosote will Run down your Pipe and in to the Stove, Not on the Outside of the Pipe and STANK on your Floor!
@@bgregg55 thanks for the comment! Do you mean going straight through the roof? I would have loved to do it that way, but we have solar panels right above, not to mention I wouldn’t feel qualified doing that type. (Not that I was any more qualified this way😂😂😂)
🤦 how did you not get the hint that you installed your pipe UPSIDE DOWN?? All the problems you had should have made it perfectly clear. Start with the male end down so that your condensate will run into the stove instead of out of the pipe, onto the outside of your stove. Next time the manufacturer puts a male end onto a fitting, don't cut it off... Turn all the pipe you've installed backwards, around.. and reinstall it the correct way lol.
@@David.Cromer but the male end would t fit onto the stove. So, from the start I had to basically do it wrong. I comfort myself with the fact that it’s just a garage stove. 😂😂😂 and at this point, there’s no way I’m trying to fix it. It works great and I figure at some point those little gaps will “seal up.” lol
I'm installing that exact stove on the 27th, so I'll get the joy of dealing with the exact problems you faced. Wish me luck because it's going in a house and I'll have to figure out how to make the pipe go the right way 😅
