My wood stove install into....
« on: September 05, 2021, 12:57:51 PM »
Earlier this year I placed an order for a marine Dickinson solid fuel wood stove for our trailer.
7w X 7deep X 14"tall. Pretty small but up to 8,000 btu's. 🔥

(Tried propane last winter but wayyy too much condensation inside even with windows cracked open.)

Done plenty of reading on the piping subject. Lots of anal talk of "no bends" in the exhaust but I found one guy that had no problems .

Mounting it to the back door that we dont open seemed like the bestest, safest spot and plus we can watch the fire at night.

Here's the short of it.
1st.) I made an exhaust hole using a 4" deck plate for a boat.
Took out insulation about an inch around inside and put a strip of sheetmetal galvanized inside for protection.

Since the plate is removable,  I ordered a 4" screen so its a vent during the summer.

Next the piping. It calls for 4 to 6ft of pipe.
I ordered the 22" single wall stainless pipe they recommend.
Going through the door I needed to fill the 4" hole.
I found pellet stove pipe thats double-wall.  Turns out single wall would go into double wall but not vise-versa.
So I got a "cleanout-T" and elbow with another 24" section of straight pipe. Thats 5ft of pipe total
I'll use exhaust wrap to fill in any gap and more protection.
The double wall should keep the pipe hotter inside to create a better draft and protect the door.

Next is the heat shield/ mount. It'll be spaced out 1/2" for a air gap. The stove will also be spaced 1/2" as well.
I used some diamond plate left over from the teardrop.
Screwed into the beams in the door but had to use 2 "jack-nuts" where it went into the wood.
Also made a "wall thimble" where the pipe goes through the door. More protection like a house.

Next is just assembly and drilling holes for the stove to mount which will be removable and attached at camp.

Looking forward to see how it works this winter.

The carshow today was cancelled, so I tinkered with the trailer a bit.
Mocking up the piping and the stove. I was able to mark the holes to drill. 
Had our little mobile swamp cooler in the trailer going while working on the stove was nice. 😎
Pic soon.

Outside i'll need something to secure the pipe so wind dosent blow it over. Im thinking of something like a fire exstinguisher strap. Quick on/off.

Never knew anyone made a unit that small, perfect for your application. Looks like you did some research, and are a nice clean job.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Thanks.
I was thinking the Cubic mini stove (cub) was the smallest and then I found this.

I couldnt figure out how to secure the outside pipe and make it quickly removable . Walked away for awhile.
Then it hit me. What if I used a fire extinguisher metal strap.  💡
So I bought a mount and removed the metal strap.

Using a conduit clamp for that to slide through gave me the distance to space it out a bit cause of the gutter.
All mounted up.  It holds the pipe nice and tight. 
I notched the stoves upper bracket so I could just slide on the upper part and have it hang from the bolts and install the lowers easily.

Im ready for fire 🔥. 
Come on winter 😉🥶🌨
Pics soon.

I'm glad you are ready for winter but I'd like some Fall first. Looks like we may get some next week. :)

1.) Notch in bracket
2.) Fire extinguisher strap,  used some O-rings to keep handle closed 
3.) Inside
4.) Exhaust pipe

The only thing left is put a small plastic block under the door to help suppport it. 

Now that this is done,  I can get to other projects before winter hits.

That really looks good. Maybe I missed in a prior post, but did you try it out yet?

Still has the protective wrapping on it. Hopefully in a few weeks.  I'll probably do a video on its first fire up.
My boss gave me a huge bag of pellets to burn. Filled two 5 gallon buckets and I have some wood from a cherry tree that I trimmed up also.

Nice to know if theres an emergency , like last years earthquake 😬 . We can use the trailer. 
Hopefully that dosent happen.  Just prepping.
I guess im an official "prepper" now. 😉
