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.
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!
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!
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! 😂
Thanks! I was inspired by my granddaughter… She told me I should do the snap edits. Yes, the chimney pipe was the toughest. It was so cold outside, and I was trying to do it with bare hands at first and they actually got brittle lol.
@@MadRiverHomestead Your granddaughter has great ideas! 🙂 I always end up working with metal without gloves on and live to regret it every time. 😂🤷🏻♀️😂
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". 😆

I totally agree with you on that! I miss those days when everybody knew their neighbors.

3 foot vertical, 10 foot horizontal clearance according to my local code.
You should go up another two feet to improve your draw.
@@tomcrockettsr thanks for the comment! I actually did end up adding another 4’ section, so it’s higher than the peak now.

If the house burns down, the insurance company won’t pay.
@@scottstruif3939 then I have to make sure I don’t burn the house down!

One more thing, I placed a T on my outside with the cap facing out. You take the cap off, it just helps for easy cleaning. 🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔️🌎🔥
Oh that’s a good idea!
@@MadRiverHomestead you are welcome brother. 🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔️🌎🔥
What's the outside temperature?
If I remember correctly, it was in the high teens or low 20s when I was finishing the install.
