Just got clearance to throw a free standing wood stove in my family room. Gonna do the install myself. So tips and tricks would be nice. The house was built in '77. The 7" line that we just located has never been used.

why not just hook up a propane blow torch like your man JP!! with some live artillery shells as decoration. :lol:

One year too late pal! I had an old(er) stove hauled off when I had the Vermont Casting installed last year.

Could have been yours free. DOH!

Just make sure if you're putting it on a combustible flooring you get a heart pad of the proper dimensions (usually needs to be like a foot wider than the stove on any side where there's a door).

And follow all the proper stove and pipe clearances to combustible walls. Closer clearances can be had with heat shields and/or double wall pipe. And remember that going from stove to wall it's female-male with the stove pipe so if you have any creosote it won't drip out of the stove pipe.

there is an existing ventless propane stove where the new wood stove will go. underneath the stove is a shiny black slate tile. i need to measure but i think it will do the trick. i have ample room on each side of the flooring. i have an old pine mantel that i will probably need to get a shield for. my chimney sweep mentioned using double wall pipe. i knew you would chime in with some good info. i may have to e-mail you picks of the line i run with connections to see if i am doing it correctly.

we have a wood fireplace insert on the otherside of tthe wall/brick and mortar chimney. since i am already burning wood i figure i will keep the fuel the same. plus i just love playing with the wood fire.

FWIW When we put in our wood stove we put down cement pad, a layer of steel, then the tile.

Nice, tree_skier. Guess who also has a Heritage?

I love my stove, although let me know what you think of the ash pan. I stopped using mine after about the second time I fired it. Now I just scoop out the ashes with a shovel.

 

[Glenn]

I'm not a big fan of the ashpans on the EPA stoves. I always like to leave a little ash on the bottom of the stove for lighting the next fire.

Small tradeoff though. These stoves burn a lot more efficiently than the older ones. Way less smoke too.

There's one sitting in my garage in VT near Mt Snow. It might be more of an insert type and I'm not sure what condition it's in. It's been in there since we bought the place about 20 years ago. I'll take a look at it this weekend. If you want it it's all yours. Not quite CT or MA, but not too far. Plus gives you an excuse to ski Mt Snow early season.

The heritage has arrived, I had to call in additional help as sonny boy and myself couldn't move it but it is in the house.
