I bought my outdoor stove from my local Ridgewood dealer, Craig Wertz and have spent the spring and summer hooking it up and building a workshop. All summer I've planned on adding a light to the front of my stove and a skirt to seal off the bottom. I called Craig at his shop and he set me up with pieces of the outside metal and a couple of corners for my skirt project. I finished the plumbing and wiring this week and started on the skirt.
I started by adding 2" ridged foam insulation. 2" fills in the space between the stove legs and the outside siding. It fits perfectly. I didn't want the insulation and skirt metal laying on the concrete, so I picked up some pieces of cement expansion joint material made out of rubber. That will keep everything off the cement.
I worked my way around the stove with the insulation.
Making my way around the stove with the insulation actually went real well.
After the insulation was all set, I started on the metal skirting. I removed the corners and the screws along the bottom holding the metal to the side of the stove. I positioned the skirt under the outside and installed the bottom screws and the corners.
I'll tell ya, I'm pretty proud of the way it looks............
I also wanted an outside light on my stove. When I ran power to the stove, I ran a wire to the front of the stove and added a light. It is an LED security light and I used a curved extension to position the light higher and position it forward on the stove front.
Next step, get some water in this thing, It's about time for cold weather.
