Wood burning stove installation, detailed How to. 

I've been getting many more questions in the comments, sorry I can't answer them all BUT, I can highly recommend the guides for self installers available at www.stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk. Go to the "Quick Guides & FAQ" section where there is loads of useful information including the "Stove fitter's Manual". If you are in the UK they also supply flue products and stoves that have been chosen/tested for quality and value, I'll be buying from them for my next install. I couldn't put together all the info they have compiled, it really is a valuable resource, well worth a look.

My friend enjoyed this so much that he watched it over 7 times in one sitting! Crazy times.

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ru-vid.comUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

Bloody brilliant video, no fuss, no life story, just the facts, info and tips.

For 16 minutes long you kept my attention, mate. Best how to do vid I have seen on You Tube!

From what I have found out (UK); ''Whenever you have a woodburning stove installed in a fireplace, you will have a plate above the stove blocking off the bottom of the chimney. The plate must be made of solid, non-combustible material. You may hear this plate referred to as a “Closure” or “Register” plate. Although these terms are often used interchangeably by some people, there is an important difference between them. A Register Plate should always be fitted whenever a stove vents DIRECTLY into the chimney (ie if the chimney is sound and there is NO flue liner connected directly to the stove or stove pipe). The purpose of this register plate is to ensure no fumes, especially Carbon Monoxide, escapes back into the room. The Register Plate must therefore be sealed around the edges and around the stove pipe. The Register Plate must also have an access hatch to enable the chimney to be swept. CLOSURE PLATE performs a different purpose. It is essentially cosmetic and can also reduce heat loss into a chimney which is lined with, for example, a stainless steel flexible flue liner. Because the stove is directly connected to the flue liner, the Closure Plate is not required to be tightly sealed in the same way as a Register Plate; it also does not need an access hatch for sweeping as this will take place either through the stove or, where fitted, through a removable sweeping plate on the stove pipe. If your chimney has been thoroughly swept before the flue liner was installed, there should be minimal soot deposits collected over time on the top of it''.

Hi, first time I have felt the need to leave a comment on youtube! I found this really helpful and appreciate the time put into it, thanks, Jimmy

My husband is fitting his now, your video was of immense use, he's a builder, and has built many a fireplace in the past, and he watched it all the way through, even telling me to shush, which i may add is pretty significan,t, , as you answered a few questions , ie, the register plate, and the tip on cutting the pipe, and also , to fianly the use of silicone as a filler , he was most impressed. Would reccomend anyone to watch your video, extremely helpful, many thanks.

iDoStuff, I've been using your videos to help me install my own stove. I've had to learn bricklaying and plaster-boarding along the way also. I used the hardie backer for the inside of the fireplace and also used it for the closure plate as many of my bricks were untidy. Will get the local building regs to sign it off. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video and helpful hints. You gave me the confidence to start this project.

I loved your laid back narration! excellent and very informative video, thank you.

I'm not alone here by saying you have a fantastic style and pace to your video. Top marks top marks. 👌🏼 Thank you Jono

Just like to say thanks for putting video up. This saved me a small fortune as people wanted to charge the earth to do it for me. Took me a few hours but got it done. Thanks again. 👍

Just brilliant. I'm just about to connect up the flue liner and thought I'd check it out on You Tube. Really confident now. That idea to use a cement board instead of a metal plate is something I'll use in future.Thanks

It's been really nice to watch someone who's confident about what he is doing. Thank you for an excellent and swift demonstration.

2.17am UK time, the best enjoyable video i have watched in a long time, commentary was awesome, as another comment posted, you also kept me intrigued the entire video. I shall have a look at your other videos, well made video, no nonsense, yet brilliant camera work, very educational and formative. Thank you for your efforts.

wow was not sure to begin with if it was going to be useful but answered all my questions and now i can install my fire no problem . thanks for a great video

A brilliant video. You explained exactly how to do it effectively in a very clean way. Thanks for the tutorial I appreciate this.

Excellent tutorial! I have no intention of attempting this myself (being shit at DIY) but it's nice to see how it's done for when I get in a professional. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic vid. Great sense of humour and a lovely laid back, easy going approach. God bless ya mate

What a fantastic no nonsense video , thanks pal you are a diamond 💎, thanks for sharing all your information, you have given many diy ers confidence 👍

I watch alot of videos on RU-vid , very rare I comment. This guy deserves one.. great video mate.

Agreed. Best how to on RU-vid. The headcam helped, as it gave us a 'fitters-eye-view' of the process, with all the 'boring' bits chopped out. RU-vidrs could learn a lot from this. 5 Star video as it gives me a lot of confidence to fit my own.

A really good video. Down to earth no frills explanation. Well done and thanks

Excellent instructions,clear & knowlegable. Thank-you !

Excellent tuition sir, easy to understand and enjoyable. thank you.

Very interesting, nice job. I am totally in love with my log burner. I can cook with, keeps me warm, better than a tv and doesn't argue 😆

What a very good, informative video, you have given me the confidence to tackle the job on my own.

Looks a decent job. Love your work.

What a great video. I was thinking about getting it fitted but I'm now thinking I'm going to do it myself if it's that easy! Nice one "Cheers"

Hayup just bought a standard sized Potbelly stove from machine mart for mi shed and what you put in your vid has helped tons thank you!😁

Very good video mate one of the best I’ve seen mate🕯☕️🚬

Loved the video, learnt something from the comment section to, you don't have and support installed like in your damage test, the board will fail if a brick hit from high enough with no support to dampen to impact. Still a good video 😉

Great video buddy. Very professional job. 😊

Great video, very well presented. cheers

what a great video well explained with some great advice Thank you

Very good and instructive video. Thank you mate

Due to put mine in soon. This has been very useful and informative. Very many thanks for all the tips.

Great video cheers.

Excellent video. Thank you

I have just oped a fireplace up fo a customer, purely for aesthetics. Chatting with customer while we were doing it and the log burner was a possibility they would look into in the future. The drilling was also tricky, as you mentioned in the video. The specification for the opening made the drilling, let's say entertaining 🤣....you see the customer wants the aperture flush front to back on the sides and head (register plate), without the recessed area and.......set up in a way that it can be plastered in, and when the fire gets installed in a few years it can be done with no damage or mess. We constructed an aluminium support frame using 40mm x 40mm, x 3mm angle profile, sounds simple 😆 we had a laser level set up 10mm below the concrete lintel, pre drilled 1.2m length of angle section, 1st piece was the back and was easy and then the front piece lol, ah drill won't fit.....no worries ill swap the sds and use the combi drill on hammer action which is not as big..... nope, same problem 😆, right there is a short masonry bit in the tool box, with the combi drill...problem solved........🤣 .... nope, right thats it... time to embrace the caveman in me, grab the grinder, attach a slitting disc and proceed to whip off the shank that is round and designed for a Jacobs chuck all the way to the spiral and "encourage" the trusty combi to hold said doctored bit while spinning true and not wheebling and wobbling.....holes need to be drilled 15mm the lintels edge, no pressure 😂......hey Presto it fits, sorted 👌........NOPE 🤦 I mentioned previously the laser level line was set 10mm below lintel, this is where it started to resembled a chuckle brothers episode 🤣 I'm sat in the chimney facing into the room, my colleague is holding the angle in place, I cant see the line at all and when he is holding it he blocks the laser completely 🤣, and to top it all off...the drill bit i butchered to fit only made a witness scratch on the concrete before the chuck bottomed out ot the angle....this was hilarious and traumatic at the same time, with 6 holes in total to drill 🤣 we had to mark each hole and check level, remove angle and drill holes to depth, hold angle in place again, checking the laser level on each fixing because the holes were angled up slightly and pull the angle out of level.....smooth sailing after that, rivit angle struts between the rails and screw cement board to frame. The centre of board has a 6" square frame and pre cut panel secured in and can be cut out in the future for the flue installation.......well thats the plan atleast. I know I rambled on and commend you for getting this far 👍 hope you also get a chuckle out it, we certainly did 😉 😄

Brilliant video pal
