Furthermore, the requirements for distances to combustible surfaces/building code can change over time.

For instance, I have posts discussing how important it is to Hi, I’m Chris. While they are both installing a similarly sized pellet stove in a corner installation there are a few differences between the two installs. Place the pellet stove on top of the floor pad, making sure to maintain the proper clearances from combustible surfaces. Its also commonly referred to as Rockwool. For instance, clearance to combustibles with a log stove is 18 inches around the stove. As you can see in the video, the interior and exterior wall thimbles fit inside one another. Two very important components of the pellet stove flue pipe installation are the interior wall thimble and the exterior wall thimble. Like I said, it was simple, all you have to do is remove the back of the stove, undo 1 alan wrench head and unplug two wires that have quick connectors on them. Now, when various other holes are drilled through a building fabric (walls) for services such as electrical cables and drain pipes a tin of builders spray foam will be used to seal up the gap.

For most stoves, you will need to plan for a The outer surfaces of a pellet stove don’t get as hot as the surfaces of wood stoves or fireplaces, so most can be placed closer to combustibles—typically 3 inches from walls at the sides and 1 inch from a back wall.Most need to stand on a non-combustible surface such as stone or tile that is at least 3/8 inch thick.
Furthermore, with many homes today built to higher airtightness standards, there simply may not be enough incoming air to run the stove without external direct supply. If that is not possible, you can run the vent up through the roof. Place the pellet stove in its desired area and connect it to its venting path. © 2020 PelHeat.com - Welcome to My World of Wood Pellets link to Which Pellet Grills Offer Direct-Flame Searing?

Hence, a pellet stove will not produce some of the extremely high surface temperatures log stoves can produce.

As you can see in the professional pellet stove installation video above pellet stove vent pipe resembles gas stove flue pipe more than a wood stoves chimney.

The most common method is to run the vent out through an exterior wall. And the stove must have a blower.With this type of setup, the stove can be placed near a primary cold-air return for the forced-air heating system so that its warm air is drawn into the system and circulated to the various rooms in the house. What I wanted to discuss in a bit more detail is proper sealing of the flue pipe and air sealing around the vent to reduce draughts into your home due to the install.

After all the point of the pellet stove is to help heat your home. If your home has metal siding as shown in the professional installation video the installer does a nice of cutting grooves into the siding so the exterior plate sits flush. (Keep in mind that the warmed air will only be distributed when the heating system’s blower is running.

However, you should never use standard builders spray foam for sealing around a thimble plate, its not fire retardant. It just provides further reassurance that each pipe joint is gas tight to stop flue gases escaping into the home. While this site is called 'PelHeat' and I obviously bat for the pellet team, the truth is, gas grilling has some advantages over pellet grilling. Proper venting is absolutely essential for safety. Or you can purchase a premade Consult your product literature to determine the correct height of the hole for the vent.
If you are installing a pellet stove insert, which fits into a fireplace, it is best to hire a fireplace professional to clean the chimney, run the venting up through the chimney, and provide a waterproof storm collar and chimney cap at the top.

When I get around it to I will write a post on the subject of how to choose a pellet stove, as your decision will need to be based on various factors. The instructions given here are for installing a freestanding pellet stove. Such as how large your home is, what type of climate your home is located in and what One of the most important aspects to consider when choosing the location for a pellet stove or any stove for that matter is clearances to combustibles. In this case, you may want to hire a roofer to install a code-approved roof jack through which the pipe will run. This provides additional heat/fire protection for any combustible materials in the wall. I would encourage you to watch both of them.

With this post, I wanted to discuss the process of how to install a pellet stove. The advantages of this are it does not create draughts through your home while the stove is running which a log stove can. But, if you are allowed to, installing a freestanding pellet stove is a job within the reach of a handy do-it-yourselfer.Pellet stoves are very heavy.
