How to build a Wood Stove
Wood stoves can be a viable alternative to gas or electric heaters. They are a natural, efficient method of heating your home, and can also be used for cooking. To make your own wood stove you'll require a few materials and some basic tools. This guide will take you through the steps of building a small wood-burning stove.
To begin, you'll need to select a location for your stove. This will determine where the chimney pipe is going to exit the shed. Mark the area using masking tape or a pencil prior to starting the construction. This will help you get a better idea of how the stove will fit in the space and how far from the ceiling and walls it can be.
You'll need to prepare your hearth once you have decided on the location. This will involve placing the fire bricks as well as some protective material on the hearth. This will shield your stove from damage caused by the soot or ash.
It is recommended to fire up your stove a few times before installing it. This will give it a chance to go through some cooling and heating cycles which will expose any leaks or damaged welding that needs to be repaired.
It is also crucial to verify the specifications of the manufacturer for your stove when determining where it will be placed in your shed. This will tell you how much space you need to provide for combustibles and how close the stove can be set up to the wall, ceiling and the stove pipe.
It is also necessary to determine what kind of stove pipe you would like to make use of. Single wall flue pipes are typically safe if they are protected from combustible material. However, you should consult the manufacturer for further details.
