Yes you absolutely can from a technical standpoint. The building can have anything normal installed into it. Legally, we cannot answer that. You would need to check with your local fire department etc.Many places now require the Ultra low emission wood stoves and some areas no longer allow wood stoves. We cannot comment on that because we don't know your area, but yes a wood stove can be installed.

If you are using the wood flooring plans that we have provided, we recommend that you create a rock or sand hearth to put your stove on. To install your stove on the hearth, follow manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes. Each dome is equipped with a metal stove flashing. The piping will run from your stove through the flashing and above your dome. All of the piping that is used in association with the stove should be double walled pipe.

Wood buildings can last as long as needed. In fact, wood can endure for centuries if it is in a protected environment like a well-designed structure. There's no reason a good wood building couldn't last indefinitely. In North America, we have countless houses still occupied that are well over 100 years old. There are many more surviving wood buildings world-wide far older than that, including temples in Japan built 1300 years ago.

Please make sure the flue is open before starting fire. NEVER remove hot ashes or partially burned loges. Please leave the ashes in the fireplace even if you are sure they are cold. It's easier to build a fire with a bed of ashes. If it becomes absolutely necessary to remove the cold ashes, use a metal container only. (Anything flammable, such as a paper bag or cardboard box, even if you are positive the ashes are cold, is extremely dangerous.

Unfortunately, no. You will need a wood pellet stove but if you don’t already have one, the savings you will realize in heating your home will more than pay for the stove. Some companies do offer converters which may be placed in fireplace inserts. Please check with your local hardware store or on the web to see if this option will work for you.

Night and Day! Blaze King classic models feature a bimetal coil thermostat This simple thermostat evens out the uneven nature of burning wood. Blaze King owners typically only adjust their thermostats once or twice and day. Nearly all other wood stoves have a damper to regulate air-flow and require more frequent adjusting. Also, Blaze King wood stoves are very deep. Not just front to back but real depth.

The news across North America seems to frequently contain stories about serious moisture failures in wood-frame buildings. Whether it's Vancouver's "leaky condo crisis" or the "EIFS disaster" in North Carolina, homeowners are struggling with wood decay wherever the other components of the building's walls and roof aren't properly protecting the wood structure from excessive moisture.

Almost every gas stove, gas insert and gas fireplace we sell is rated as a heater. They operate at efficiencies ranging from 30 to 70%. As a result, they often can heat an area as effectively as a woodstove or wood insert. Just like woodstoves, they come in many sizes and output ratings. It is important to size properly for your application.

You need to determine which model of Blaze King you own first. Since there have been dozens of models made over the years, determining which model you own by general description is usually not possible. At the time all stove are manufactured, a metal or foil decal is applied to the rear of the stove. (Right hand side on inserts). This label contains all the information pertaining to the model and serial number.

A single wall black or close clearance double wall black to the point you would break surface of a wall or ceiling. Then you must continue with a 2100 degree chimney pipe to the point where you would be 2-foot above the peak or ten feet away from the roof line.

Dry, seasoned wood is best. The type of tree is not as important as moisture content. Wood must be allowed to dry for a minimum of 12 months, under cover, after being split and stacked. Popular firewood in the Northwest are: maple, alder, Douglas fir, spruce, apple and cherry. Another good fuel source is pressed fire logs, manufactured by pressurizing sawdust, as opposed to wax-based decorative logs, which have limited heating value.

Burning of wood is required to meet certain EPA emission standards that a coal burning appliance does not handle. It is not a safety issue, in fact, until 1990 we sold the coal burning appliances of today as wood or coal. But, when the EPA Clean Air Act of 1990 was enacted we had to start marketing them has coal only. The wood models either had to have a catalytic combuster added or adjust the firebox to meet a 35:1 air to fuel ratio.

Yes! The Honeywell thermostat will open the combustion air draft door when heat is required, and close it when the thermostat is satisfied. YOU DO NOT REGULATE THE HEAT IN YOUR HOME BY THE AMOUNT OF WOOD YOU LOAD INTO THE CHARMASTER/CHALET FURNACE. Simply load enough wood to do the job - normally, twice a day - and let the thermostat do its job. Most homeowners heat their home plus or minus about 2 degrees, all winter using wood.

Carefully open the damper and, using a flashlight, look up the flue for signs of a build-up along the walls. Goggles are suggested for this. If the build-up is ?" or more, a cleaning is needed.
