Wood burning stove

3 years ago

I have been thinking of putting one in my house for a long time. After the power going out a couple weeks ago I thought about it again. I really want one built by Woodstock but I don't see how I can get a stove that heavy into my house.
I am now considering other brands and when I'm off again may take a trip to a store to look around and ask questions. I have been reading up on them at various sites.
I really like the Ideal Steal from Woodstock. Low emissions and it's a pretty stove. I would also like something I can warm food up on if the power goes out.
Any recommendations? Or any to stay away from?

See the attached photo. See the big TV in the foreground? That needs to go where the wood burning stove is. My plan is to get in the attic and disconnect the stove pipe from the part that goes out through the roof. I hope to leave the part outside part intact. I'll stuff the pipe hanging in the attic with insulation, and then patch the ceiling. Does this sound like a good plan? My other idea is to see if a local handyman would take it out and patch the ceiling in exchange for keeping the wood burning stove for himself.

I had a carpenter do mine, mainly because we used insulated stainless steel pipe and wanted to box it in all the way up the gable end of the house, about 25-30 ft., with a framed wood chimney box covered with matching siding. If you're punching through the roof for a chimney make sure you've got someone who will pay attention to detail and get the penetration sealed well and shingles put back properly so it doesn't leak.

I have a super awesome wood burning stove in my home, that we’re currently updating. Drywall is up - yay. I was wondering how I could update the stove, I was thinking of painting the brick or even switching out the stove for a new one but would also need to update the flute and im not sure how easy a task that is? im also wondering how i can design an entertainment center or tv on this blank wall. the opposite wall is a sliding door and to the right of the fire place is a large opening into the dining/formal living room. Any fire place update/room designs would be great!
