From a cost standpoint would flex SS be much different than just replacing the double wall pipe? I'm not big on the flex. It seems it would be impossible to...
Usually blowing air in at the bottom works best. Lower temp for the blower easier to hide Creates positive pressure rather than negative pressure around the...

Currently, I have Heatilator "fireplace" that burns wood, but doesn't deliver much heat to the cabin. It has a 12' double wall connection to the chimney and...
It seems like your stove is working fine. Normally, when the glass get durty fast, it is because the wood stove is being choked down too much, or the wood is...
Hello - New to the group here, I searched but couldn't find anything on this so here goes. I have a 30+ year old insert that has been here since I bought the...
I've been burning hot fires in my Jotul F400 and the glass stays clear except for a couple spots on either side at the edges. I've tried piling up coals at...
What you are seeing is not wood gas in the traditional sense sence of the term. Wood gas is usually produced in an oxygen starved environment. Your stove is...
What is the temprature that wood gas is produced , we have a Jotul MF3, I have seen somewhere it is at least 1200C ,when the top of our stove is about 245c...
Welcome to the group and welcome to Jotul. I also purchased a Jotul F 400 this year, but last spring, when there was still 2.5 weeks of really cold weather...
Pete, We have heated the last 2 years with a Jotul. We love it. I think ours is the F500 Oslo? We had our first "take the chill off" fire this morning here in...
hello to all, I am new to the group and am breaking in a new Jotul F 400 installed today. Yeah! Just in time, as it is starting to get cold here in Iowa! Pete...

I am ok with 72 degrees either way. Any one: wood, oil, ng, or electric all feels the same in the middle of the room. The difference, for me, is the level of...
I believe that they are talking about two things. First ability to heat an area may be misleading. When calculated, some European companies may list that a...
One caution: woodheat.org says that the BTU.s listed on the specs of the wood stove manufacturers are not reliable. Quite frankly when I started reading here...
Hi, I did not mean to undersize the stove for the house. You would undersize it, only if you were comparing it to the central furnace. Most central furnaces...
If your stove is too big you will be tempted often to run it very low which could mean more chimney problems. I would aim for a decent amount of heat for the...
Heya - thanks for this answer, and all the others so far - been pretty busy with the baby and now we are all sick, yayyy colds given to us by a friendly visit...
800 sq feet would be fairly easy to heat with a wood stove even if the house is poorly insulated, if it is all one room. I'm assuming it is not. 30 years...
Edward, The only way to know if you are comparing apples to apples is to take the sku(stock number/part number) of the Lowes pipe and punch it into Google for...
That's a tough call. You will have to decide if you want the less durable material hidden away where you can't see it. Thank you for your comments, g's. I...
Thank you for your comments, g's. I assume that you are recommending the stainless outer jacket (vs galvanized) for the short part of the pipe that extends...
