nice looking job. :thumbup: you might find the need to keep the exhaust pipe pitched ever so slightly to drain the sooty condensate that will develope from a non insulated exhaust pipe.keep up the good work!

Here it is up and running... Been running for a little over a month...The only real problem I had was I tried to run a 007. Upgraded to a 009 and have had zero problems.

i dont have that problem with my owb,but i put a wood stove in my garage at my house in northern nh and didn't use insulated pipe ..because of the cost, and the pipe out side had 12'' sooty icicle's hanging off. when it was burning! liqufied creasote is pretty corrosive and i would hate to see your stack rot off.happy burning! ;D

looks great! :thumbup:
Nice install of your inside piping
Do you need to put a mounting bracket on your plate exchanger to support  the wieght?
I like what you've done

Thanks all.

No support needed on the plate ex. There's a hanger on the pipe about 18" above it after an ell, and it's cut in right above the water heater.

Year 2 going great so far....Didn't run it long enough at the end of last winter to know for sure....

This Spring/Summer, I will be adding a domestic recirc line, and piping a HX into the air handler for my upstairs bonus room(800 sq. ft.)...

Rome wasn't built in a day.... ;D

Thanks. I kind of borrowed ideas from several stoves. Then I kind of winged it...

If/when i were to do another one, I would change a lot of things....I won't go into that now, but I learned a lot reading this forum...

Using pipe instead of plate would have saved so much time and work, but live and learn...

Before you build another we should talk, i'm also thinking of building another with a few changes, but round would not be one of them. If yo're interested i could explain.
