General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: our wood stoves are horrible but epa thinks this is fine

« on: April 29, 2014, 01:48:42 AM »

I think Americans needs to quit focusing on these little issues. I don't understand how people are more upset over a person's sexuality but than find it ok that congress gets paid off by super pacs to right bills that only favor corporate profits. Quit being led by news that keeps you focused on obtuse issues. The constitution made America great maybe we should focus on following that again instead.

I'm in the process of doing the same thing Scott7m is doing. Z supply looks like quality wrap and running it through the pvc
Would definitely create an air barrier plus keep it all very dry which is the most important thing.

I got my stove on order. Craig says he will be calling sometime this week with the delivery date. Went with the z-supply double tile and going to run it through pvc like Scott suggested. Hope all goes well so I can give my official review.

I most likely will go through the concrete. I just wanted some opinions and experiences with going above the concrete before I made my final decision.

I have a full basement, but drilling through 12in of concrete is more costly than drilling through the wood above it.

Did he tell you that on April 1st?   

Unless there is something specific to your application that would require that I just don't get it.  Would like to hear his reasoning on that one.

Nope it was no April fools joke. The dealer gave me a similar answer slimjim gave, but also added it was kind of a cost savings method. I was worried by doing it that way I would lose lots of btu's.

I got another question. I was told by a local woodmaster dealer to exit the ground with my pipe a few feet before the house and enter the house above grade. Has anyone done that or is that a complete No No.

Slimjim I tried researching Logstor more, but can't seem to find the place to purchase it.

Thx for the pm automan, and the post slimjim. Underground pipe certainly has been discussed a lot the more I search the more threads I find. The one thing I for sure agree with everyone on is I don't want to get to cheap with the pipe.

Just talked to Bruce at Ridgewood and I think I'm going to be a new OWB owner.
I looked at a few owb's and had sticker shock based on what I was seeing but after my first propane experience I still knew I needed an alternative. I found the Ridgewood from looking at this forum so thanks to the members that posted on here. Now I need to get some good piping. My searches has most pointing to logstor or thermopex but I don't see much talk about z supply pipe. How do you guys feel about it or should I just spring for the other 2 I mentioned.
