Pellet Stove Installation
Picked up our new pellet stove on Saturday, we decided on a Maxfire Santa Fe. Should be around 86% efficient & help allot with the heating bills.
We are building a hearth in the corner for it to sit on & protect the floors/walls.
First we put down some tape to get the outline, then a layer of foam to protect the hardwood, incase it ever is removed.
Then 2 layers of 3/4" OSB. By the time we add the wire mesh, mortar scratch coat & stone, the vent should line up where I want it to go through the wall.
Marley is supervising....
Here is the basic layout. We are waiting on some cultured stone to finish it off. It is a 'dry stack' look so you won't see grout lines. Should be interesting. Will also use some spare 4x10 leftover from our 2nd floor beams to make a mantle along the top.
First fire!
The stone place is dragging their feet on our order, so we installed the stove. It's pretty toasty in the house today & the electric furnace hasn't ran at all.
When the stove is running on high, the flames in the burn pot are about 4" tall. Puts out alot of heat for such a small flame.
