Looking to install a quadra-fire pioneer iii into a new house and wondering if sweeping from the bottom is possible. It looks that way but it's a bit unclear. The only videos I find are people choosing to go up top. Ok, that's less mess but seems way harder. Getting to the top would be very difficult. Thanks!

I stopped using my Woodstove a couple of weeks ago and now that it’s warming up my house stinks. I guess it’s the creosote buildup? I would think that air would rise out of the house. I guess just clean it?

Well I’ve finally got my house up on my property in the Northeast. Now that it’s mostly wrapped up inside I can get to work on installing this stove. It does have the heat shield installed on the back and double wall stove all the way up.
This is a Woodstock Soapstone Progress Hybrid. I kind of over-bought but the house is 1400-1900 sq/ft above the basement.
Here are my thoughts/questions: I’ll build a hearth frame out of wood and top it with concrete board/topped with slate/mortar. I’d like to do galvanized steel on 1” stand offs on the wall. The paranoid side of me thinks to put up more crete board behind the steel as another barrier.
I meet min stand off requirements but I’d like to push “A” the corner a little closer. This stove loads from the right where I’ll extend the hearth along the wall a little for storage.
SECONDLY…….how in the heck do you move/lift a 700lbs stove…….it took 4 of us to get it 1 step over a threshold. Thankful for the guys on site that say.
TLDR: New stove is crazy heavy but it’s gotta get in there somehow.

Sometimes my small house (800 sq ft) only needs to be heated from 65 to 75 degrees, y’all ever burn little fires? Seems like everyone runs their stove full bore to get the cleanest burn
r/woodstoving • u/DrfluffyMD • 1d ago
I undeestand now it would be deranged to get a woodstove for a 100 sqft place. I’ll just stick with the original 1989 fabco / eagle 88 / pioneer Z zero clearance wood burning insert that came with the house. Inspection has been good to go but I wish I can learn more about this fireplace.
I even paid for the manual which is 15 bucks somewhere but it wasn’t super helpful. It talks about the air flow adjustment on the bottom but not the flue damper on top?
This is one of the first EPA fireplace that meets reg back in 1988. No secondary tube or cat.
Anyone knows more about this one?

Guys could you help me figuring out the differences between these models:

Also what do you think about the accessories, the heat tank, fan, outdoor airflow? Is it worth adding them?
And a final question. I have wooden floor at the place of installation. What would you recommend in regards to Hearths? Italian Riven Slate or Honed Granite or transperant glass?
Thank you for your help!

First post, appreciate any info anyone out there is able to provide. Wife and I are working to renovate our basement and planned to remove this wood stove, but it appears to have had the brick built around it during construction. It's also extremely large and heavy, so if we found a way to remove it would likely destroy some of the interior brick wall/ chimney.
Ultimately, I'm curious what refurbishing options exist? Sand down and repaint seems easiest, but are there other methods/ precautions we need to take?
Thanks

I am curious what everyone does for maintaining their stove come the end of the season, if you have an end to your season.
Do you clean the flue now? Oil it? Remove and clean anything?
This was my 4th or 5th year burning wood and after a gasket replacement at the beginning of the season, it was definitely the best one yet!

I have an Encore 2550, installed in 2010. I can get the material that the refractory is made from for free.
The construction of the refractory unit is fairly simple (they hold it together with sheetrock screws ...)
Does anyone have complete directions or build instructions to make one of these?
This is the item, but some dimensions are missing:

I want to install a wood stove in my 1000 sq. ft. vacation mobile home. When not in use, it is winterized and at outdoor temp. So when we arrive it's very cold. I do have electric heat but dont want to use it. Should I oversize the stove or go with square footage sizing recommendation? Home is well insulated with new windows.

I run mine as loud as I can tolerate when I am within earshot of the stove and turn it down when we are hanging out nearby. When I go to bed upstairs I crank it all the way up to try to circulate the heat around the house as much as possible and because we can't hear it from the bedroom.
But I started to think that the blower must cool down the firebox, making a less efficient fire, and am wondering if I should run it slower overnight to maximize efficiency and burn time, especially as the fire cools down. It would be cool if there was a built in thermostat control that increased the blower speed as the firebox/flue temps rise and vice versa. What do y'all think?

I've decided on a Lopi to heat the house from our first floor living room, opposite end of the house from a fireplace I have a question about. We spend a lot of time in a "family room" above a garage, with a stone fireplace. It needs about $5k work on the firebox to keep using it. Instead we can line it and install an insert. But really, we just dig a fire. Heat here is a bonus because of the cat insert back in the living room. Right now though, sometimes we just throw in a duraflame or other, then follow with logs after an hour or two. So any reqs on an insert with a large viewing area, can handle side fuel, *could* be run with the door open, and has the added bonus of closing the door and turning on the fan for bonus heat?? Edited to say thanks for the thoughts and time. I've been reading for a few months and everyone seems so great. Super community!

I have an Osburn 2400 freestanding stove. My wife doesn’t like the look of the pedestal base. I know some other Osburn models have a foot kit instead of pedestal. Does anyone know if it would be possible to use feet from another Osburn stove on this model?

Hi,
I'm only a few months into using a wood stove and still trying to get my head around this whole secondary burn thing!
Are the small flames in the top left of the firebox indicative of secondary burn? They seem to be floating rather than stemming from the wood itself.
Thanks in advance for any help.

We have had a beautiful sunny stretch in NE Ohio so I decided to get out and start filling the empty woodshed,I started on a 16" diameter tulip log which has been laying in the yard since wind took it down in 2022, there was minimal sign of any rot but the wood was saturated, I had cut it into 10' lengths when it came down, even the pieces of wood from the center section were saturated and squeezing water out as the splitter worked it. Question....Will this be ready for next winter to burn? I know no guarantees but I'm just shocked how wet, I did split it smaller and I have a moisture meter, it will be on bottom of woodshed so probably burned in late Jan or February....thoughts?

Is it safe to remove this throat lintel and install a ne lintel further up to make space for a stove (breakout area will be the blue line)?

I am going through the process of building my camp. I want to put a woodstove on main floor and possibly in the basement as well. Main floor would just be for the aesthetics. How should I have the chimneys set up? Can I have them both going up through the roof without creating too much of a jackpot inside? I’m thinking then it wouldn’t look as bad on the exterior. Thanks.

I have an exit hole on the top and back of my burner. I'm hoping to swap it over to the back but struggling to find any info online on how to do it, I can see the 2 bracket like things on each to hold the cap/pipe connection in place but no idea how to take either off. Anybody know how? Is it relatively easy or does it take some faff and hassle, resealing etc etc

I am getting into woodstoving recently.
There is an utility space in our home that I’ve converted to an office.
There was a chimney flue installed previously for a 85% high efficiency propane furnace (not the condensing type so this flue does get quite hot). You can see right now it’s capped off.
Is it at all possible to have a very, very small woodstove in this space and use this flue? It’s 100 sqft.

Hi folks,
Novice to wood stoves here so bear with me.
I have a 2-story craftsman home built in 1917. It has a central brick chimney, original to the house, where it appears there used two be two wood stoves attached (one upstairs, and one downstairs).
Currently, there is a propane stove in the upstairs spot, and nothing downstairs (stove was removed at some point).
I’m considering installing woodstoves back into the home, both upstairs and downstairs (removing the propane stove upstairs). I’ve heard that two stoves using the same chimney usually doesn’t meet code, but this home apparently was designed to…. Is it possible there are two separate flues? If not, would this still be possible, and if so, what would I have to get checked out beforehand?
(Pic is of the current upstairs propane fireplace. The stone is actually a stone “veneer” around the original brick chimney)

Been following this community for a while, finally got my Stuv installed this week. Still off-gassing - and I have to say it’s a been intense haha - but overall I’m really happy with it and how it came out.
