All ready for install. Sheet metal guy came through today. I came home with the heat shields and spray painted them with high temp paint and through them on the wall with one inch metal spacers. So I now should be able to get a 9in clearance.

Looking good...can not tell, did you raise sheets above floor for at least a 1" gap for air currents to flow continuous behind?

Not sure what you mean, but the stove it self is sitting on a hearth pad. HY-C Black Type 2 Hearth Pad. And the stove is actually built with some type of legs.

What Mac meant is the heat shields should never reach down all the way to the floor.
There should be at least a one inch gap between the bottom edge of all shields and the floor so that cooler air at the floor level can get under the shields to travel up between all the shield and wall,..... thus removing heated air by natural convection.
Looks like you have a gap between the shield and floor, but is it at least one inch ? And is the white kick molding along the bottom of the wall closing off part of that one inch gap ?

Oh, by the way. Charge wet-cell batteries outside the living space - somewhere well vented. They produce hydrogen gas, even during a trickle charge.
Stove go BOOM !

Just when I thought my work was done. Well, I'll be correcting that shortly. I was thinking to protect as much of the wood as possible. I will lift it up an inch. While we're on the subject. Is it o.k.for the heat shields to touch when meeting at the corner or should I space them 1 inch apart also? As of now they are kissing.
Dropped off payment to my local stop shop who is doing the installation. Well how about they have a new policy. That says, "they no longer install stoves that we're not purchased buy them." This new policy started October 1. Good thing I had my quote done before the new policy went into effect. If I some how find the need & a spot to put another stove. I know I can not look for them to do the install unless I buy the stove from them. Way to go Byler's. All they sell is square crap box's.
One things for sure they have embraced the coal stoves. While I was there. There was a guy in front of me trying to get a stainless steel chimney liner to replace his terracotta liner. Something to do with insurance. This is where I had to jump all in his installation conversation. I simply ask the question by saying. " I thought that the terracotta lining was the best and life lasting lining to have. This is we're the stove shoppe guy shakes his head no, no, no. The stove shoppe guy then goes on to say that IF the terracotta lining gets a crack in it. It will not offer any protection from heat. Also he says something about the terracotta conductivity as compared to the SS lining conductivity when concerning creosote & chimney fires. I didn't really understand what he was talking about. I just figured I was messing with his sale. Let me just shut up.
Upon me buttoning up. I noticed a glass jar separated by a top & bottom. The bottom had rice coal & the top part had nut coal. Bottom line is they are in the coal business now & they weren't last year. Now there are 2 places to get coal from in the city of Dover. Score 1 for coal or should that be score two? Lol
So I asked how much per ton. He says 269.00 per ton. Not bad as I just paid 254 per ton plus 60 bucks for delivery. This sparked a new conversation with me and the guy in front of me. As he was taking measurements on the wood stove that he is getting a quote on to have installed. He asked me how was it burning coal. Well, wasn't that just an opportunity to show my glowing appreciation for coal. Surprisingly the stove shoppe employee backed me all the way. He says he didn't know why more people haven't embraced coal. It's a cleaner burn than wood, you can store it outside indefinite. And he goes on & on listing the benefits of coal. Well when I left the store the guy in front of me was on the phone with his wife. As he let me go in front of him as I was only dropping of payment. I didn't want to seem to nosy, but I believe he was attempting to talk his wife into a coal stove. Is that score three for coal? Lol

Great effort on your part Uncle. There "is" hope out there that some are convertible. I'm actually surprised he wasn't purchasing a pellet stove.UncleDoDat wrote: I didn't want to seem to nosy, but I believe he was attempting to talk his wife into a coal stove. Is that score three for coal? Lol
Good luck on your install, and don't forget the initiation pics.

Sure thing on pics.
And I didn't know that about the battery charging. We are talking about when the stove is in operation? Correct? Thanks.grumpy wrote:Sunny Boy wrote:Oh, by the way. Charge wet-cell batteries outside the living space - somewhere well vented. They produce hydrogen gas, even during a trickle charge.

Any hydrogen and any spark= boom!
Always pull the cord from remote electrical outlet before removing spring clamps from at battery terminal...terminals are next to the hydrogen venting cap area.
