Now I'm not aware of any specific legislation in the UK that would make these illegal per se, but for sure your insurance company would want to know about it. I've let the discussion ride this far but blatant self promotion of your own site and products is pushing the boundaries a bit.

I finally settled on a 425 degree RTV in a caulking gun tube from Home Depot and it seems to work OK, however, I have bookmarked the Rutlands web site and will keep it in mind if I have to remove the existing RTV and reseal the pipe.Just like to mention, on any horizontal run, make sure you have a rise, so any creosote will run back into the stove. Also think that I will put piping thru the top barrel with a blower on back to use it as a heat reclaimer as seen on a lot of exhaust plenums. energy efficient it is economical and ideal for heating smaller rooms where space may be at a premium.

Incorporated in all Purefire stoves is an extremely effective pre-heated airwash system that helps keep the large glass front nice and clean. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Hardware: The kit includes all the necessary hardware, such as screws and bolts, for assembling the stove. You can hold your hand within an inch of the surface at full burn and not feel uncomfortable, and with the air circulation going through the inside, and the distance away from the wall, I'm absolutely not worried about starting a fire that way. Other than a bit of initial smoke, it went really well, especially considering that it is trying to dry out a load of clay mortar along its way.Building with firebrick and very smooth clay mortar means the joints are very small – down near 1/16″ to keep as much heat in as possible and the fire super efficient. Having tried (and failed) to get clay soil cleaned up enough to make smooth clay mortar, I just went out and bought some clean clay, which was thirty quid well spent.

The barrel got nice and hot, while the insulated flue stayed cool, and the exhaust really was a little smoke, and mostly warm steam, just like I’ve seen in countless videos.

For those who haven’t encountered one before, the rocket mass heater (RMH) is a well proven though not widely used way to burn wood very efficiently, and then capture all the heat produced, in a mass – normally a bench or bed – by passing the flue horizontally through it. Please, answer me and we'll discuss all details, I will pay nice money and really want to be on your site! I use mine to heat my French swimming pool, it outputs approx 40 KW which is an insane amount of heat.We offer a variety of barrel stove kits including both single and double kits and barrel stove kit accessories like barrel stove grates, dampers and collars. It needs to be used little and often to maintain heat in the mass, but once charged up it keeps a big space comfortably warm, and people and pets fight to get a spot on the warm bench.

For a number of years prefabricated barrel stove kits have been available, predominantly in the northern states of America and Canada. I just went ahead and picked up a 6" trim collar so I can enlarge the hole in the metal siding, center the pipe in the collar so the pipe isn't touching the siding, that should give it enough clearance to the metal that it wont get too hot. From the aluminum panel, there's a good 4+" to where the particle board panel is and the aluminum works as a heat sink to absorb and dissipate and excess heat.

Please be sure to read the description thoroughly to make sure that this is the item you want before making a purchasing decision.Does anyone know of a wall thimble for this application or is it needed if the combustible (wood) wall studs are at least 6" away from the hole and pipe? One of the attractions of this homemade wood stove is that they can be assembled in as little as half an hour and require little in the way of skills, experience or equipment to produce a functioning (if inefficient and smoky) wood stove. The first five of six firings will need to be gradual with smalls fires allowing the stove to cool after use.
