    As a woman in northern Minnesota being concerned with the current energy situation I’m wanting to have a wood stove installed. I’ve been trying to educated myself so when I have someone come install it they won’t do it wrong or rip me off, I’ve watched numerous videos and read several articles and am only more confused UNTIL now, this was absolutely exceptional !!!!
    Clear, to the point, basic facts about safe installation and where to install !!!
    You hit this out of the park !!!!!
    A huge THANK YOU !!!!!

    Holy crap! I just learned more in 25 minutes than I have last two days researching UA-cam for our setup. Great explanations. Sold me on the double pipe. Have just a small run with 90 degree into wall out to chimney. It’s a large open area in our cabin and now I clearly understand the envelope idea and the air pressure I may have to deal with to light. Good stuff. Subscribed.

    What a wonderful job you did explaining this, thank you. We bought a 2-story house with an insert, (Blaze King), in a basement with long, tall chimney, (going up 3 stories), first time tried to light it, your right "disaster", so much cold/negative air pressure, SMOKE-ville city, scary! No other guys selling stoves could explain this to us let alone have/had a clue to help. Lucky for us we had some old timers that explained we had to heat the chimney first with a blow torch and open a basement window. (Say what)? Buying a house and heating explanations with chimneys are essential. This house has, 3 gas stoves, (2 on main floor), and 2 in basement; one gas, one wood, chimneys at both ends of home, North and South. Only one gas stove in basement is efficient and heats! You're my new Hero, appreciate all you share and do. Do you sell up in Spokane and deliver? Best regards, from PacNW.

    Great video! I also want to say we have a basement wood stove in a 2 story that works great but there are reasons for that. It has an open stair well from the basement to the second floor as well as a ducted furnace and fresh air exchange that move the air well in hour house. Our chimney goes through the wall, and up the outside of the house above the peak (over 30 feet of rise) and yes it cost more than the stove. We burn about 3 cords a year and it's been an absolute game changer making our basement (which is well insulated) warm and cozy all through the winter. Bottom line is to find a good dealer in your area who knows the weather and conditions you deal with locally and don't cheap out on your chimney.

    • @TheCrazyunclemarty
      @TheCrazyunclemarty 2 місяці тому

      Same here-- the open stairwell is key. We love our basement stove with type A run inside, seldom back drafts if +0F outside. If it's very cold, I add a sheet of newspaper to flash a draft and maybe crack a window -- it always vents in less than a minute. Our Encore keeps the basement at 78, main 72, upper 55 which is fine for sleeping. Everything drops 10 deg overnight without running the furnace.
      Yes the pipe cost more than the stove but it pays off.

We live in a 2 story, 100 year old uninsulated house, and it is like heating a barn. Just bought the house. After only 1 week of running the gas heater we turned it off for good due to the insane cost of the gas. My house looks exactly like the one you drew!

    My property has an essentially infinite supply of firewood, and a two story house on a basement and a gas fireplace on the first floor. I was considering installing a wood stove in the basement, with the expectation that we'd make use of the wood to get the basement nice and warm in the Winter, and maybe some of that heat might rise into the rest of the house as a secondary benefit. We have no chimney so we would have had to run a pipe over 30 feet along the side of the house. This great video changed my mind, so now I won't waste time and money on that bad idea.

There is an old wood stove we are replacing that is already there but did not work very well (had the smoking inside the house effect). It’s not exactly a basement but it’s also not the main floor. How can I make sure it works to the best of its ability since this is my only option? Thank you

The Chimney is leftover from when the home had an oil furnace which it no longer has. The Chimney has been sealed off which I would have to undo, but I want to get a wood stove in the basement and I was wondering if it's possible to run the wood stove pipe up through the existing chimney?

    Heat rises, 1) Put a register in the floor, (cellar ceiling) and 2) If the floor is warm, the room temp can be cooler, but the body stays warm,. In the basement was the best place for us. Also, we put a 4" fresh air return through the basement wall, and ran 4" vent pipe down to about 1 foot above floor level. we also put a register in the basement door, to keep the air flowing (convection) from cool up stairs air, to return to the basement for circulation.

    I feel with your example of the cold barn. Overtime both double and single wall pipe will reach the same temperature when the stove is not running. The barn will eventually reach the outside temp if enough time has gone by without heat.

  • @truecrime98

    I built a tiny house and I insulated it very well sealing every crack and cranny myself. If it’s 28 feet by 16 feet 8 foot high ceilings and a loft up top on one side is my wood stove going to be a good heat source if it’s the only heat source. It doesn’t get as cold as the outside does due to my insulation job. At least so far that’s been my experience although it’s not totally finished yet. I am working on the the stove piping out the ceiling towards the lower part of the roof. Great explanation! Thank you!!

  • @xthegoodfight1
    @xthegoodfight1 Рік тому +1

    Great video! Up north cold winters and lesser insulated basements is why a lot of us want the quick, direct, cozy heat of a wood stove downstairs. The explanation of the challenges makes sense, but so many people with stoves/fireplaces here have them in the basement for this reason. Are there alternatives like putting an outside air intake to the stove? With the envelope - doesn't the furnace air intake/stack or bathroom/kitchen vent fans already affect the pressure? Same with windows and other sources of air leak. I heard the average home has equivalent of a 3ft hole in it from cracks and air leaks. Is the pressure concern more so for super new and very well insulated homes? Thanks!

    If you had a fresh air intake installed would it make installing in a basement more feasible?
    We are planning on a walk-out basement install and planned to run a fresh air intake to the stove. The stove pipe will be run in a bumped out chimney chase on the exterior wall.

    I am thinking about putting a wood stove into the basement of my home. The chimney that is in the house now goes right up the centre of the home and out the peak of the home. I was looking at the restrictions locally and it says I can put the wood stove pipe into the existing oil furnace chimney (keep in mind I will not be using the oil furnace at all). There is more than enough ventilation in the basement allowing a lot of air to be able to get into the stove. My home is relatively small and don’t have a place for it on the main floor. Leaving the only possibility to be in the basement. Do you suggest this or am I wasting my time.

    This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

  • @SD-jl7ul
    @SD-jl7ul 3 місяці тому

    Is that flue termination height correct? You state that it must be just above the roof 10' away. It is my understanding that the chimney flue must terminate 2' ABOVE any portion of the roof 10 feet away, and if that chimney flue termination is closer that 10 to the roof, the height needs to be at least 3' above the peak of the roof.

  • @regwatson2017
    @regwatson2017 6 місяців тому +1

    You most certainly can terminate a stove out a side wall. I've done it and it works fine. It is just not the most efficient way of installing it but there may be no alternative especially with a multi-storey building. And if you run a long pipe up to the roof you haven't lost anything in efficiency except the small bend out of the wall which will require more cleaning maintenance.

    LEARNED ALOT! THANKS. This really helped me confirm and learn the "wood burning knowledge about pipe, temps, drafts, etc." Ive been burning wood, playing with wood stoves a long time. But the science behind the pipe temps, draft, negative air flow zones is rite on! great job. It really helped me with some things ive over looked in past..
    Maybe you could do a video of pipe draft control, Ive always wondered, debated with others, if it was worth it too have a draft control right above the woodstove, to close down draft flow too keep more heat in? etc?..
    Personally i never beleived in a "draft control butterfly near the stove.. I always figured it was best too control the temps/draft with the wood stove itself. vs. one in the pipe above.
    I think people overlook the hole pipe temp and draft,negative air zones, and go rite too blaming problems on the wood and or wood stove.

This is a single story but with vaulted ceilings, and we're putting this just off the peak, which is about 11'. We just have a new cast iron stove, one of the $500 ones, because the whole space is about 500 sq ft.
