Join me today as I install decorative tiling behind the wood-burning stove. This is my first tile job ever, will it flop or will it pay off? You be the judge.
Thanks for sharing , I tried my hand at building my hearth and heat shield, lol doing this on weekends by myself hearth took me 3 weeks a lot and I mean a lot of cuts ( not a professional by any means) good thing I bought 2 boxs for my goof ups lol. First and last tile job for me ! Doing my heat shield today decided to go with premade imperial heat shield your job looked a lot cleaner than mine! How I got mortar in my hair is beyond me but thank god it was easy to clean off tile same as grout. Very nice job you did
😂 I feel your pain I am the same way thank heavens for editing. This is my first time doing some of these projects so I guess there must be a little bit of a learning curve. It’s great to hear that you’re developing different skills, just remember there’s nothing like being self-reliant. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It’s been great to hear about your project. Best wishes.
LOL, I was really getting sick of looking at that concrete board but this was the first day of the year that I could leave the wood-burning stove off and tile behind it. Have a great week Todd it’s great to hear from you.
Good luck James! It really wasn’t that hard, just to make sure everything is square and level and you’ll do fine.If I can do it you can do it. Have a great week
Thanks Jody, Lately I haven’t been that pleased with my cameras it’s time to do a little updating. Thanks for your support have a blessed week my friend
Cabin looking great Karl! Nice job on those tiles. Thanks for sharing with us. It's been a fun adventure to be able to follow along on. Look forward to future videos.
Thank you very much I appreciate the support you give the channel. There are so many new projects for this spring that I look forward to sharing with you.Have an awesome week my friend
Looks good Karl. I like that mantle idea. It’ll be interesting to see what idea you guys put up there if you do decide. We had all the kids over Saturday for homemade lasagna. Blessed, what a feeling.
So that’s why Dante didn’t answer his phone. LOL, tell him I’ve got it handled. It’s great to hear that you had the whole family together that is a very special feeling. Have a great week Don I appreciate all the support you give the channel :)
I really appreciated the time you spent explaining everything upfront, Karl. Maybe that Amish company you mentioned awhile back would have some mahogany, cherry, or walnut wood for a rustic looking quality mantle. And what a perfect spot to put subscriber gifts and family momentos. Very clever use of that 30-06 bullet by the way!
Jason thank you so much for all the great ideas! I think we’re on the same page I will definitely go back to my Amish friends to see if they have any wood that would fit the application.Thanks again I really appreciate hearing your ideas
great job explaining how to do the job and oh don't we know how things go when you are filming its always something we have lost audio so many time you would think we would learn be safe hope you are having a good ice fishing trip
Yeah it’s a real bummer when the equipment fails.The ice fishing was really bad this week I still have one more week before the season is over hopefully things get better. Have a great week my friend
Looking good Karl! Wood trim boarder will look just as good as the bull nose. Probably don't need to cut the tile then. Hopefully we won't need our woodstoves soon! Have a great week
I really like your idea about doing the wood trim, I mean I really like that idea! If you don’t mind I think that is how I am going to do it. Have a great week my friend thank you so much for the helpful suggestion. I can’t wait for that warm weather
I like what Farm Life said about the wood trim. That would look good. How about a little silicone where tile overlaps the wood? Mane do nothing Karl it looks great!
I think silicon would work pretty good, I shouldn’t have to worry about anything expanding or contracting. I’ve got a couple questions I need to ask Aaron about before I start the mantle. Have a great week my friend
Just for people knowledge,,, When your stove requires you to have it 17 inches away from the wall,,,,,, By NFPA 211 standards,,,, You can put a heat shield on the wall with a 1 inch gap between the wall and the heat shield,,,, and that reduces the distance requirements by 66%..... So if you put a heat shield up your new distance would be 6 inches... 17x66% = 11.22 17-11 = 6... Remember you have to do the same math for your connecting pipe requirement, but it should work out to be the same since your pipe is normally offset by 2 to 3 inches.. that way if you are limited on space, your wood stove wont be in the middle of the room... Also,, make sure you understand the 10, 2, 3 rule for chimney's.. Not only for code but its to make sure your stack is drawing like it was designed and you will never have blow back inside your house.
Thanks Wiley. It was a real bummer, you put all that time into a video and then find out the meat of it never recorded. Oh well if that’s the worst life brings me I guess I’m doing pretty good. Take care, I hope you were able to get something done with all the warmer weather.
Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. I am always nervous the first time I’m doing something I can’t believe I overlooked the camera. I hope you have an incredible week, stay safe
personally i would leave that tile as is...slide something in behind for more support...cause otherwise it will look unbalanced and trigger my OCD...lol...
Great advice I think that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I am also thinking of putting a wood border around the tile. Thanks for sharing such a great idea. Have a great week!
Question as we are getting ready to install a stove - my understanding is the stove surround non combustible wall has to have a one inch air space between the combustible wall. Is your cement board directly secured to the wood paneling?
No the cement board is secured to the stud wall and then I put decorative tile on top of the cement board. Check on the back of your stove it should have all the setbacks that are required. With the newer stoves nowadays the requirements have changed quite a bit. Good luck with your install, thanks for watching
@@karlsoffthegrid1378 thank you. I've obtained an older Fisher stove. I found a manual on line- but setbacks are in regards to combustibles. I was hoping we could secure cement board to the stud wall as well and put stone on the cement wall...but many are telling me we need a one inch air space between stud wall and cement board. Perhaps because it is a radiant heat stove... Spacing it one inch out with gap at top and bottom certainly prohibits the nice stone look we were thinking about.
I saw the other video on when you put the wood stove in and i always figured you had to put something like what you put on the wall underneath the wood stove too. The heat must not be that predominant underneath then the back wall gets?
If you look closely what I did with the floor was I actually bought a fire proof pad for the wood-burning stove to sit on. You are correct, the floor doesn’t get as hot as the back wall does. However, I have noticed that I have often accidentally spilled some hot embers on the floor and it sure is good to have that fire proof mat there to protect the floor. It’s always great to hear from you James have an awesome week
Thanks for watching! I did not have to buy any special type of tile. The concrete wall backing and the tile are both non-combustible and are far enough away from the stove so that it won’t be a problem. They are just there as a safety precaution.
@@lazypondfarm I think I will leave the overhang and I will probably hide it with some trim. I never made it out on the ice this weekend it was just too slushy. Have a great week
I just use the regular grout. To be honest with you now that I’ve had the stove in for two years, I can testify the wall never really gets hot if you follow the manufactures distance requirements. I guess it’s just added protection
If you are more than the recommended clearance how necessary is it to put up the wall hearth? I'm wondering if I can get by without it, given that I have the clearance.
Check what your local codes are they often determine how far you need to be. Otherwise there should be a diagram on the back of your store that will have the clearances written on it. I was far enough away from the wall that I didn’t need any additional fire proofing but I put the tile up for aesthetics
The video doesn’t show it very well but the flu pipe is about 6 inches further away from the wall than the back of the stove is. That extra 6 inches gives me enough clearance so that I don’t have to have fireproofing at that point. I stopped the fireproofing at with that particular height because I am putting a fireplace mantle on top of it. You could continue the tile up to the ceiling if you prefer but it is not required
I’m not at the cabin right now so I’m not exactly sure. On the back of your wood-burning stove there usually is an ID plate that tells you all the tolerances of that particular stove and piping. If it does not have that ID plate you can always call your municipalities inspections department and they should be able to help you out. Good luck with your project
