Pellet stove or wood stove?

[buffalobo]

It's not really too difficult. I don't remember where I bought my stove pipe from, BUT they had diagrams showing several options and once a guy figured out the configuration that he was going to do, it was easy to see what parts were needed.
For instance, will you go up and elbow through the wall and then elbow straight up to the vent without going through an over hang on the roof, OR will you go straight up through a ceiling, through the attic, and then through the roof.

If I remember which website I used I'll let you know. But it showed all the options and then showed what pieces were needed and there's all kinds of instructions to be found on the web of doing installs.

I also found a guy local in Elizabeth that would do installs, but when he came to look at mine he wouldn't even give me an estimate. Not sure why, other than it wasn't a straight forward deal since I did a 45 degree run of pipe to get to an angled wall that I went through, instead of going up and doing a 90 through the wall directly behind the stove. So maybe the complex angles were what kept him from wanting to tackle my job. SO I had a good friend come help me do my install.

This^^^

Local fireplace contractor was "too busy"(he didnt want to deal with custom install) so I did the research mostly on Simpsons Dura Vent web site and made sure eveything was well above code for materials and clearances.

I used Simpson Dura Vent double wall insulated for entire chimney and ceiling box. I did a 15? offset in attic to avoid going thru roof at the peak as the parts would have to be custom made. Hercules Industries was willing to make the part but price and lead time were too long/high.

Once I had my design and parts list I ordered Simpson Dura Vent pipe thru local supplier to builders.

Once parts arrived install only took half a day and most of that was spent making sure ceiling box was just right.

You can stand next to stove and reach up and touch chimney without burns. Down close to stove the double wall is pretty hot but not the instant blistered burn like touching the stove.

We burn 4-6 cords a season and wood stove is our primary heat source for 2200sf ranch style log home.

No advice, just wanted to share the stove that is in the home we moved into last month. Love it, even though it's not our primary source of heat

Beautiful classic. Any idea who did the restoration? Should have it appraised, good condition Round Oak can bring big bucks.

My friends that sold me their home said an Air Force General restored them in his spare time. This is the fourth home they had it in before passing it along to me.

I probably should have it appraised, if nothing more than to cover my ass on home owners insurance. Any suggestions?

There is a Round Oak collectors group and most antique appraisers should be familiar with Round Oak products.

Without seeing it in person and being a fan of Round Oak I would say it will appraise $3000+. Date of manufacture should be 1890-1910.

In the early 1900's the Round Oaks were considered the best wood stoves in the world.

Thanks for the ideas. Guess some searching is in my future

That's very true. We had a similar stove in our Bailey house when we moved in. It wasn't a Round Oak and it wasn't in nearly that condition. When we bought our Harmon we sold it on CL...had numerous responses to our asking price of $500 and sold it to some guy who promised to pay $750 if we'd hold it for him. He drove all the way from GJ the same day to pick it up and was happy as could be. I had no idea they were worth that kind of coin in the pretty poor condition ours was in. It sure put out some heat...but went thru firewood like crazy. Not efficient at all.

That Red Oak is a beautiful stove. I'd love to have something like that in my house.

There was this guy with a store....
Idaho Springs on one of the back streets.
Restored old wood burning stoves.
Really beautiful when he got done, but the price reflected the effort expended.
