Great looking build. Looks pretty similar to mine with the exception of the man door placement.

Congrats on your new purchase(s)! I have a large (38 rifle) single door safe that weights around the same as yours (1,500 - 1,750 lbs). I moved it twice from my house to my garage, then back into my house, before deciding....never again! The last time I moved it was due to relocation....... I...

The more insulation and sheet rock that goes up, the better it heats the shop. After about 3 hours of running hot, the shop will be at 65F, when the outside temp is 30F. Currently I'm only about 1/2 way done with the insulation and sheet rock. I can tell a difference with every section I install.

Thanks for the reply....My property is just shy of 2 acres.

I installed cement board behind the wood stove, then finished it off with rock tile.

Working with insulation batts have made things go fairly smooth!

Well it has been a few months since I have posted, but never the less I have been busy with insulating and sheet rocking the inside of my shop. It has been a long process, but is turning out great!

I did take a Dewalt IR scanner and checked the temps yesterday, stove and pipe out of stove was 450*, about every 18" of my single wall out of stove dropped 50* The triple wall out of the ceiling box was reading 79* The 79* reading that you have at the ceiling box sounds good.......A...

Great looking install......... I like the weather that you are having even more!

I am currently in the process of insulating and putting up sheet rock..... What a job. At the rate I am going, it is going to take all winter. In the long run it will be worth it! I am located in Washington State. Thanks, for the feedback:)

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice in regards to the chimney height. I went ahead and added an additional 3' section.

The material behind the stove is Hardi-back cement board.

So far it draws excellent........ However, I am going to add an additional 3' section to the top this weekend, along with a small 12" section at the bottom of the tee for easy clean out.

I ended up giving $ 175 for the stove......... A lot less than what the double wall stainless super vent pipe cost! The stove is rated @ 75,000 BTU
