I'm with you willie, under a roof was the best idea I came up with. No tarps, no snow no problem.

The original statement was a barn, maybe I'm wrong but to me a barn has been used for livestock, probably has planking for a floor, and roughcut 200 year old post and beam, I would not ever go into a barn with a lit cigar, never mind think about a wood stove of any type, if you are really that bothered by the elements, either pull up your panties or build a metal BARN.

I've never seem a barm with a wood floor around here...  There all on dirt and a lot of folks have wood stoves in them to heat a stripping room for tobacco n such

Barn to me"
16'x32' Steel trusses with 2x6 purlings Cedar poles, dirt floor, corrigated tin on roof and three sides.
Only thing in the bldg is the OWB, 3 cords c/s/s wood, waste oil storage and my biodiesel processor.
Pigs and chickens have their own bldgs.

I'm going to go through the roof but I need a couple adjustable elbows to offset the stovepipe 6 inches.

And in your opinion all those combustibles that will be laying on the floor are OK and exiting the wall straight out horizontallywith single wall uninsulated pipe is OK. WOW

Please post pics when this job is complete.

[slimjim]

Yes please and try to do it before the fire

[victor6deep]

This is awesome.

Shewwww....   Lets not get all harsh on this subject. 

I grew up in garages n shops that had old sun beam wood stoves or pot bellys sitting around.  Waste oil, acetylene, and oxygen tanks sitting everywhere, but people had to do with what they had. 

Although someone might not have a perfect situation in regard to specs, it's still there's and if they wanna risk it they can.  This post almost got me going because I'm sooooooo tired of govt trying to tell everyone where they can poop and pee.  But he wanted some opinions, he got em, it's his choice what to do with them.   

Best of luck in whatever he does!

Barns with floors in New England are quit common..But I do remember my great grandfathers wood shed/barn didnt have a floor in it..

I was just discussing this with someone....   We'd never heard of a barn with a wood floor?!

Scott perhaps you  misunderstood the original post, maybe you should revisit it, We as reps for this industry should in my opinion be directing the new members to wood burners as safely as possible, You will never find a more anti government person without handcuffs on than me but common sense and safety should always be the first things on our minds and never the profit margin on the sale and install

I dont see the big deal in all of this..I know probably half dozen people and seen by driving the miles.. That have a OWB or a wood boiler in a garage, barn that is attached to the dwelling house..In fact Aqua-Therm makes unsheltered wood boilers  so they can go in a shop or a wood shed.. Ive seen my share of wood boilers that in basements that run the same as outdoor wood boilers..Like anything other wood burning device..You gotta keep the stack pipe/chimney or what ever its hooked up to clean!!!

Yea I saw it.... 

I agree for the most part Matty...  However, I will not do the install in a barn or building just for liability issues, if they wanna sign a waiver then it's fine by me. 

I've never seen barns with floors and stuff, most barns here, you could run an open flame in them and never have an issue as there ain't nothing there, just wood walls, a beam here and there and posts.  But yea the single wall through a wall wasn't good..  I'll agree with that. 

But keep in mind income from an area where barrel stoves are often found in homes lol
