Join me today as I install decorative tiling behind the wood-burning stove. This is my first tile job ever, will it flop or will it pay off? You be the judge.

I really appreciated the time you spent explaining everything upfront, Karl. Maybe that Amish company you mentioned awhile back would have some mahogany, cherry, or walnut wood for a rustic looking quality mantle. And what a perfect spot to put subscriber gifts and family momentos. Very clever use of that 30-06 bullet by the way!

First and last tile job for me ! Doing my heat shield today decided to go with premade imperial heat shield your job looked a lot cleaner than mine! How I got mortar in my hair is beyond me but thank god it was easy to clean off tile same as grout. Very nice job you did

@oldmanpatriot1490 2 жыл бұрын

Just for people knowledge,,, When your stove requires you to have it 17 inches away from the wall,,,,,, By NFPA 211 standards,,,, You can put a heat shield on the wall with a 1 inch gap between the wall and the heat shield,,,, and that reduces the distance requirements by 66%..... So if you put a heat shield up your new distance would be 6 inches... 17x66% = 11.22 17-11 = 6... Remember you have to do the same math for your connecting pipe requirement, but it should work out to be the same since your pipe is normally offset by 2 to 3 inches.. that way if you are limited on space, your wood stove wont be in the middle of the room... Also,, make sure you understand the 10, 2, 3 rule for chimney's.. Not only for code but its to make sure your stack is drawing like it was designed and you will never have blow back inside your house.

I saw the other video on when you put the wood stove in and i always figured you had to put something like what you put on the wall underneath the wood stove too. The heat must not be that predominant underneath then the back wall gets?

@karlsoffthegrid1378 3 жыл бұрын

If you look closely what I did with the floor was I actually bought a fire proof pad for the wood-burning stove to sit on. You are correct, the floor doesn’t get as hot as the back wall does. However, I have noticed that I have often accidentally spilled some hot embers on the floor and it sure is good to have that fire proof mat there to protect the floor.

Question as we are getting ready to install a stove - my understanding is the stove surround non combustible wall has to have a one inch air space between the combustible wall. Is your cement board directly secured to the wood paneling?

@karlsoffthegrid1378 Жыл бұрын

No the cement board is secured to the stud wall and then I put decorative tile on top of the cement board. Check on the back of your stove it should have all the setbacks that are required. With the newer stoves nowadays the requirements have changed quite a bit. Good luck with your install, thanks for watching

@ritasenergyherbs3650 Жыл бұрын

@@karlsoffthegrid1378 thank you. I've obtained an older Fisher stove. I found a manual on line- but setbacks are in regards to combustibles. I was hoping we could secure cement board to the stud wall as well and put stone on the cement wall...but many are telling me we need a one inch air space between stud wall and cement board. Perhaps because it is a radiant heat stove... Spacing it one inch out with gap at top and bottom certainly prohibits the nice stone look we were thinking about.

Thanks Karl, this is great! QUESTION: Did you buy special heat-proof tile?

@karlsoffthegrid1378 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! I did not have to buy any special type of tile. The concrete wall backing and the tile are both non-combustible and are far enough away from the stove so that it won’t be a problem. They are just there as a safety precaution.

Tile are literally cooked in a kiln. All tile can take the heat.

If you are more than the recommended clearance how necessary is it to put up the wall hearth? I'm wondering if I can get by without it, given that I have the clearance.

@karlsoffthegrid1378 2 жыл бұрын

Check what your local codes are they often determine how far you need to be. Otherwise there should be a diagram on the back of your store that will have the clearances written on it. I was far enough away from the wall that I didn’t need any additional fire proofing but I put the tile up for aesthetics

I just use the regular grout. To be honest with you now that I’ve had the stove in for two years, I can testify the wall never really gets hot if you follow the manufactures distance requirements. I guess it’s just added protection

Hi! Why didn't you put tiles all along behind the flue? The flue gets very hot as well. Curious to know as I am in the same situation. Thank you

@karlsoffthegrid1378 Жыл бұрын

The video doesn’t show it very well but the flu pipe is about 6 inches further away from the wall than the back of the stove is. That extra 6 inches gives me enough clearance so that I don’t have to have fireproofing at that point. I stopped the fireproofing at with that particular height because I am putting a fireplace mantle on top of it. You could continue the tile up to the ceiling if you prefer but it is not required

@karlsoffthegrid1378 Жыл бұрын

I’m not at the cabin right now so I’m not exactly sure. On the back of your wood-burning stove there usually is an ID plate that tells you all the tolerances of that particular stove and piping. If it does not have that ID plate you can always call your municipalities inspections department and they should be able to help you out. Good luck with your project
