Very nice video. I installed a roof mount vent on my garage heater last year, but I bought a new house and would like to do a wall vent. This video gave me a great visual of what I already had planned. thanks!

Live in alaska and thinking about getting new pellet stove installed for this upcoming winter. Thanks for the video. For us in Alaska, the price of fuel oil will eventually reach a point where people just can't afford to live here anymore. Pellets are relatively cheap and they now have a couple places here in town (Fairbanks, AK) that make and sell their own. The only problem is the initial investment to make it happen.

I used a solid laundry drying pole that I pulled out of the ground and just had sitting in the shed. The flex pipe is from some sort of a car exhaust flex pipe I found on ebay summit racing flex tube? The end of the OAK is custom made screen that I used a laser engraver to cut. Everything has been working out great even had it fired up today for a little while.

@doublewide6 10 жыл бұрын

The stove needs air to burn, if you don't have an OAK it will suck warm air from your house. It will pull or infiltrate air from poorly insulated walls, doorways, windows, etc. With the OAK air is brought in from the outside and used for combustion rather than drawing from the house's warm air.

@amerlin388 4 жыл бұрын

Thoughts... I would suggest one straight piece (whatever length desired) from the elbow to the outside vent rather than twisting on a second piece (reduce wobble). My situation was a basement installation with vent planned to go through the joist header and a brick wall. There was a 6 inch duct through the wall for a no-longer-used jenn-air stove/grill vent. I hoped to use this for the vent thimble, however it was barely too small. For a temporary fix I made my own thimble using a pair of steel duct round end caps. I connected outside air tubing to 1" pvc pulling air through the thimble. This fall I plan to remove the 6" steel duct tube and use the Selkirk thimble. I will probably still pull the outside air through the thimble, which should actually cool the vent piece; I don't want to cut/chisel additional hole in the brick. I use an upward turned elbow to a vent cap with a rain shield. I'm surprised the cut out piece of vinyl siding didn't have at least one nail. Caulk the vertical vinyl siding cuts just before installing j-channel (maybe you did this off camera). While it's great to have the outside combustion air, it did make me ponder how much somewhat conditioned air is exhausted by a clothes dryer in the home.

@thenexthobby 3 жыл бұрын

Nice video. The other reason why it's a good idea to seal the pipe where it comes thru the thimble is because if you don't, it would be an obvious entry point into the wall for air/moisture + bugs.

There is no notation of being 5 feet from stove to termination. They even show a straight out the wall vent in the manual that is less then 3 feet. The shorter the vent the more efficient it is going to be. I vented mine up then out cause a natural draft, and the is what the manual recommends if possible.

@doublewide6 11 жыл бұрын

Code calls for a minimum of 12" from wall to Termination. I have 15" because that is how the pipe fell. The longer run is by code to stop smoke from going into the roof overhang / soffit venting. Likewise, with the Western wind that you hear in the video it would turn my siding black if the termination was any closer.

@roberthorton1645 8 жыл бұрын

I have a install similar to this. I was concerned with venting and sparks blowing down to ground, potential fires. I used lava rocks in immediate area under. They will turn black from the exhaust. Also, will blacken wall and possibly nearby windows and overhang. Snow is not an issue as heat melts away clear down to the ground, even in a blizzard. Also, venting low to ground means the large about of smoke during start up (if you have a pellett stove with automatic ignition that turns on and off flame as home heat is required) will be seen from around the base of the home. People are not used to seeing this, and can think your home is on fire. I had one of my neighbors call the fire dept. while I was at work, and they broke into my home only to find it was normal stove conditions. Again, automatic ignition stoves smoke like crazy every time they ignite the pellets. Once the fire is under way, smoke clears up dramatically. All the smoke and black you will see is mostly from start up.

I have a pellet stove with auto start an no I don’t get a crap load of smoke, there is a little upon start up but certainly not enough to make one think theirs a fire. If someone’s getting that much smoke then their set up is totally wrong

@slipperyjohnson7016 7 жыл бұрын

I'm a pro installer and hate when I see some yahoo on here installing something wrong. You were doing a decent job until you terminated. Termination has to be 2' above grade, which you are not. You should have come out into a tee then up the wall about 36" then a 90 then cap. Having your cap so low is a fire hazard. Leaves can gather and catch fire or snow can build up and block vent. Did you even read the manual?? I'm not here to start crap, but I hate when the comments are full of "thank yous" for showing them how to do it and you did it wrong. You could actually be responsible for loss of life by showing the wrong way.

The vent kit I bought has a diagram on it that describes exactly how it should be setup. You're absolute right, extend through the thimble into the tee, rise up, 90° bend into the end cap. I just wanted to see how the rest of the process should go, cutting through the wall, sealing, dealing with vinyl siding, etc. I like how he used the j-channel siding to frame out the outside of the thimble, I would just seal around the 4 sides before I screwed it down. Water intrusion I think would be a big problem plus your compromising a vapor barrier.

I am considering installing a pellet stove in my mobile home, I noticed on the video venting a pellet stove Installation Part 1 that the vent is connected directly from the stove through the wall thimble going outside of the home horizonally to the vent cap with no pipe going up the outside of the building, Is that the proper way of installing ???

NO! The cap needs to be 2' above grade. I already posted about this. If you come out of your wall 2' above the ground you can terminate the way he did, but if you're below that you MUST go up the wall.

It will melt stove gasket, tinfoil, bone and meat.

No it did not do ok. Look up crosslinkconversionsdotcom . These stoves need complete make over. I called my stove company told them to get a water jacket heat exchanger. Few months later I found the above sight. Would be nice if they made em with water jacket in first place. They would be quieter, heat waaay more,,,revolutionary. There u go engineers!! PS: In the utube above the dude would get even better results with floor heat.

Save time money and heat(might not meet code bitch) That first hole is all you need. Use the excess size to suck air into the heat exchanger inlet.Hey its cold out right.Also you could use single wall pipe(and longer)(like much hotter regular wood stove) inside for better dissipation before you go out(now cooler) with double wall pipe. If stoves were made right with water exchangers(future?) the exhaust would be cooler to start with. Hiring? I am always thinking(now looking)
