A pellet stove is a convenient way to use renewable energy to heat a house. They burn wood chips and other materials. The stoves using augers and hoppers typically filled once a day to feed the flames. The pellet stoves are adapting to places where wood stoves or fireplaces have been used previously. In such cases, the existing chimney or vent can be reused.
Instructions
- Place the pellet stove into the space in front of the fireplace. This will require a larger breathing tube. Make sure the space between the stove and walls meet the minimum required by the book. Then place it on a fire resistant base, as stone or ceramic tile.
- Place a cover to breath inside the chimney. The cover reduces the size of the vent used for ventilation. The hot gases will rise and will vent above the fireplace. Measure the height of the chimney from a midpoint in the box below it up to 4 inches (10 cm) above the edge of the existing chimney. Breathe weapon cover following the instructions of the company. Wrap insulating cover with the package content and paste it in place. Lower cover from the roof of the house. Hold it in place with the team of the package at the bottom and top.
- Connect the stove in the opening of the bottom of the deck. This may require a piece of pipe with double insulation, depending on the company, the stove model and breathing. Tighten the accessories according to the prompts to create a proper connection between the stove and cover. Connect the stove to the outside fresh air intake and an outlet inside the house.
Tips & Warnings
- The pellet stoves are available as standalone units like the items that could be placed in a fireplace. Fireplaces use the hole in the wall for ventilation. Independent pellet stoves can be vented through the wall, ceiling or an existing fireplace.
- The cover installation breathing needs a job from the ceiling to the lower part of the chimney. Be very careful when working on the roof, to prevent slip and fall.
