The Woodstove Utility Companies Fear

option 3

Having a nice big riser gives you a great place to store your load of wood inside for final drying off.

Nice shirt

Just Heated up my 1800kg fireplace. It's gonna Release heat till tomorrow at least. It's -6°c so not so cood, but it's free heat 🙂

Sounds like you are barking every time you say “roof.” I guess I pronounce it like “rewf” 😂

Great disguised infomercial 😁

the glas front also adds to the heat output. it allows all of the infrared energy to escape to the room adding to the total heat output.

Too late, but I would've gone with No.2, because it's little more centrally located, but still right by that corner.

That cap is used to keep rain and animals out too, not just there to keep embers in.

If Bernie relied on solar to heat his home he would freeze his toodles off..

Hello, D.J. Here! Hope you & your family had a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! As I was watching the very end of your video about your wood stove, (I watched the video's in reverse, 1st, I watched the install & then the planning) Anywho, At the end of your video when, You were speaking about propane being heavier then air & in case of a leak, keeping the stove 18" off the ground, I was looking at your workbench. My question is: To the right of those riding boots, WHAT ARE THOSE DARK THINGS SEPERATED BY CARDBOARD OR NEWSPAPER? I think they are part of a press maybe??? I was just wondering! Anywho, I adore you guys & love your content, & all that you do! If I am being really honest, What really drew me into your channel was my yearning for/ my want for an axe! In hindsight, We do not have a fireplace nor a wood stove, I just wanted one!

Number 2, the heat will be nice in the center of where you are working, yes it might have to be off center but so what. I also feel it will heat more evenly and spread the shop around as opposed to being against the cold wall. Then you are fighting the cold wall and it will be more difficult to make the shop feel warm

I like a #2 Brother! For the record, Vermont isn't on any coast.

#2

I like 3........

Just move to a smaller shop. Lol. ..... move again. Ha ha

Thanks!!! We purchased one and are in the process of getting it shipped to japan.

#2--- Great central location, wood can be stacked on wall behind stove. Place oscillating fan on stove and it moves heat in many more directions. Just my 2 cents worth. LOL, good luck and God Bless

Option no. 2

Face and belly bloat tell me he's back on the beer.

I would go with 3, it encompasses your work area as well as looking nice you can have things an even distance on both sides that you can't on the other options as well.

I really hope you have a review coming up for this stove I was excited to see the best woodstove for a shop but none of that was explained just a set up video of where you wanted to put it in the shop

I would love your intake on the stove and looking for the exact same one for my home and not sure about the hybrid version woodstove not a lot of info on them

Cody, You said you plan on expanding the shop, hopefully you move fuel to the expanded part of the shop, so currently option #2 would be more centrally located once your expansion is complete. But I don't know, I'm a flat lander (Sd) and have to drive to the western half of the state to see trees.

#2 seams to be the most clear for access. I think you will struggle with wood storage and access since the door opens left.

Definitely #3. If you use #2, and have the glass face the room, you won't be able to side-load it on account of the bench. Or at least, it'll be a pain.

I'm with you on the number 3 spot. I think your right on the money with your pros and cons.

2 or 3, you want to be and gather by the fire

Code and permits for what?? I bought one and put it in. I wasn't gonna go pay for a permit just to install a wood stove. Those thieves steal enough of my money.

Option 3 because it is closest to where you spend most of your time. But a lot of people's argument for option 2 as more central was a good idea especially since it is not just central to the work stations but also for when you are working on the shop floor. But again if you plan on having that sitting area and doing most work by option three area and you want quick and easy access and to keep it within easy eye sight then I'd suggest going with option 3. But I also agree with what someone else mentioned about keeping it away from ammo storage. So I would move the ammo if it is near the option 3 location but I am sure you would have thought of that as well as you are a pretty smart cookie. Later, love the channel been a fan for a few years now and it has helped me in multiple things taught me a lot that my grandpa never had the chance to or that my dad didn't have the time because of work or because it wasn't his area of expertise. Best of luck with everything and hope having friends over doesn't cause anyone to catch covid.

I like option #4 If you put it about where it sits now it would cover all your spaces. It doesn't seem like it will be in the way of much. This way you can get heat off of all sides. Just thinking about all that nice wood you put in would hate to see it dry out and crack from the heat over time.

Cody u speak the truth about Vermonters. I married one.

3 if you want to go all the way or 2 for the videos, dont do 1 at all mate.

In your case,it almost seems to be in the center, I think it would give you the most dispersed heat. In my shop the stove is against the inside wall of our house. I placed 1 inch of c channel with cement board on top. So there’s a space for cold air to naturally circulate from the bottom to the top. My entire stove is surrounded by 5 inches of concrete except for the front where the door is. 1inch black iron pipe surrounds the stove to heat water that is circulated through owner floor radiant heating system.

I would lean towards location 2. Seems more centrally located but still close enough to the meeting of gentlemen's corner.

I like spot #2, the central location. You could use a fan to direct heat in each direction as well. #1 is too far from everything, #3 is too close to the ammo locker? #3 is also not central to the rest of the shop and the metal bench.

I like #3

Number two but have it face to the left towards wood area, out of way but still good for looks

no welding on floor then also lol

We bought a greenmontain 40 few monts ago for our new homestead. we love that stove !

The day before Christmas Eve is called Christmas Adam

oh also the double wall vent should be no more than 48 inches. maybe 60" it cools the chimney down turning radiant heat into convection or hot air. This is great except when the stove is burning down. That same convection then cools down the chimney and that reduces draft, lowers temps and causes the smoke to condense. This can add to chimney fire risk. Double wall pipe will allow closer installs to wall so it is a trade off.

also cut your wood 22" that means with error you will be under 24" I have that stove and 25 is no go. The other thing is its a catalytic stove and that means you want to pull any nails. Galvanized metal can effect a cat.

Radiant heaters are like giant light bulbs. So most of the heat you will feel from these installs will be from the front and sides. Having structures near the sides will diminish heating.. Heat from the top will go up so you will not feel that. The heat shield will turn radiant heat into convection heat or hot air. that will heat from the top down. Install 3 is not the best for heating but will be more usable and near where you are most active. I worked with stoves and stove designers and competed with buck . He's a good guy and that stove is work horse.

I don’t know if I am jelly about your fork lift or the asphalt and concrete surfaces you have to drive it on. :)

West coast is just laughable!! Anywhere close to cali loses

#2

3

Certainly No.3!👍

2. You make so many videos in that location. Turn the flame towards where you sit for the soft lighting

I would say 2 great video Cody 🇺🇲

The spinning shot during the unwrapping really did my vertigo a nice spell

I mean your gonna put it where u want in the long run... but I'd say 2 seems the best option for storing wood. It's in the middle of the back wall aswell.

Option 3 seems to meet more needs for flexibility.

Option 3. Option 2 is right by the slugger and metal shavings, option 1 is where more metal fabrication is going to be done and right by the door. Where heat will be lost

Option 2 all the way. Central to all the shops, and glass faces out to radiate heat towards the open space. Have fun with the install!

Option 2

Position #2 ..centrally located and the glass front will be visible when walking into the shop..or even looking from outside the shop you can see if wood needs to be added from a distance. But 3 is good too if that are is going to a hangout / chill area, though you did say it would only be a once a month type thing.

Cody, please let me give you a tip on that roof boot (red silicone). Orient it like a diamond on the roof rather than squaring it up with the orientation of the building. This will help with water diversion and will deter leaks and standing water. I hope that makes sense. Essentially you will be pointing one corner of the boot to the eave and the opposite corner will be pointed to the ridge. I've been in the metal building industry for over a decade and it is a best practice. Best wishes and good luck on the project.

Whatever happened to the barrel stove, we love our so many uses!

I would favor a stove setting out in a central area, not far from where it is sitting right where you unboxed it. If you have ever hung around a potbellied stove, everyone can get close and warmed if it is out in the room. Seating would be easy and comfy. For a great gathering place. Firewood box on the back of it JMHO

#2, having it right in the center will distribute heat more evenly as well as allow it to be seen in more videos, being in a central location.

Whichever you go for, I wouldn't do the pipe straight up, I'd go diagonal for some distance so some of the pipe heat can radiate upwards off of it and fill the roof space with heat, where as straight up, you might lose a lot of heat straight out the top?..

I would go with option #2 because even though it should heat the whole building, centrally located in the middle of the shop would give less chance of a cold side of the shop over by the spot #1 and it is still right beside the wood shop area, even if you have that area changed to a sitting area etc..

Zone #2

Option 2 seems the most logical to me

Everyone is saying 2, but I liked 3 the best.

If it's efficiency and uniformity of warmth you want, location #2 is your choice. If your priority is aesthetics, use location #3.

"I never met a Vermonter I didn't like." Bernie Sanders enters the conversation (granted, you've probably never met him) :)

1+1+1. ==3333333333333

#2 but slide the bench over to the right. More central to both locations. No need to move Wood working bench for larger gatherings. Build a nice hearth to give more floor clearance, even if not required by code. Good luck!

Put it on caster wheels so you can bring it with ya as you work

Is Iowa considered east coast or west coast

That fine for a west coast guy, but what are us east coast guys supposed buy for a stove Cody? Question answered, Vermont Castings? Good stove for sure.

Spot #3 makes best sense but I’m sure you’ve already installed it to Option #4

Option two. Better feng shui. Also, speaking as a guy who lost everything to wildfire and is STILL dealing with insurance and attorneys two years later; best to do things by the book and rest assured there will be one less hassle if/when something bad happens.

Option 3

And the utility companies are fearing this for what reason? What happened to the double drum 55 gallon setup in the last shop? Not good enough for the new digs? Either setup will suffer if there is no active air circulation. Nice and hot near and above the stove but not anywhere else. Simple oscillating fan will help tremendously.

Option three. Gets the hot stove out of your work area

2. Seems most central and out of the way for work

option 3 because I said so

What is it with the east coast people?????????

I’d go with option 2. the 1 not fuctional, the 3 its too close to the contacts

with a stove you will need some fans on the roof to circulate the heat back from the roof to the floor or all the heat is above 8 feet through the roof is a great sealer i use it on every thing works on wet areas

I would not put it anywhere near my guns because it’s dry heat could dry out their wood stocks. Wood stocks that dry out change their points of I,pact.

Are there zero exceptions given to Maine folk?? :)

I would pick option 2

Number 2 and turn it to face the lockers you were proposing to move. I think that would be great. I also like option 3 but only as a 2nd option if I really couldn't do the 2nd spot.

I think location #2 would be best. More centrally located

Thanks you! Lived in VT and when I saw that stone it looked like mine. West coast or east coast we are all on the same earth.

Having it close to the wood shop would make it easy to feed any offcuts into it

I’d go w it #2 first. It’s centrally located and would evenly cast the heat over a larger area.

#2 specially central and more towards the middle of room due to the 4 ft storage area behind If you use an elbow the flue pipe could go behind

I like #2. I think it will be to hot in the work area if your to close to the stove. also it will be a bit more centrally located.

I think I would go a little closer to the middle of the room, say, right in front of the lathe instead of against the wall.

Wrong, steel does not retain as long as cast iron. It heats up faster. Your former hearth stone was cast iron surrounded by soap stone.
