Nice video. Reminds me of when my late husband put in our corn stove in the basement. We didn't have to go through much siding, more block wall. I sure do miss having that corn stove going I can tell you. It kept the whole house warm and toasty. My late husband was a farmer, so we had the corn. Now that he is gone, I don't use it as it isn't cost effective now. Thus why I miss it and of course my late hubby. He was a handy dandy man too and installed our corn stove. So watching you guys do this brought back memories of when we did ours.
Hey Brenda! I have actually never heard of a corn stove. Thats pretty neat! Thank you for your story. I really appreciate the comment and as always appreciate your support of my videos and channel!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair If one has access to corn, a corn stove works just as well as a pellet stove. We had lots of since my late husband was a farmer. Of course that isn't the case now. But I loved our corn stove, it kept the house nice and toasty during the winter months and saved on oil.
@@Bigguy_33 Yes, I don't use mine anymore either, as I'd have to buy the corn where as my late husband grew it so therefore was more cost effective at the time. Not so much now and of course the price of corn is more expensive. That wasn't my only source of heat, so not a big deal for me.
I never heard of burning the corn kernel itself before. When I was a kid my dad burned corn cobs that he saved from the cow corn he shucked. Corn cobs burn hot.
@@summertimesunshine2444 Yes, corn can be burned too. You have to have a special type auger, the auger would need to be changed out/bough for wood pellet's or cherry pits as well. Not sure if my stove can do the cobs though. Thinking not, but don't know for sure.
Looks Good. One thing... the little hole on the right bottom of the burn pot (38 sec) is typically the stoves auto ignighter. It blows hot air out onto the pellets to light them up.
The efficiency can be further increased by drawing your combustion air through a double skin flue pipe, it preheats the incoming air resulting in higher burn efficiencies and reduces ash buildup due to a more complete burn, I have the combustion air pre heated on my pellet heater and the improvements over non pre heated air are amazing.
@@peterbiltpilot516 here in Australia one can buy flue pipe in varying sizes in lengths of 900mm, it's a simple matter of working out how long your flue needs to be and getting the correct sizes to do a twin skin setup.
Yes! Backwards blades on vinyl. Whenever I cut siding with a circular saw or chop saw I always take the blade off and put it on backwards. I actually know a guy who lost an eye cutting vinyl with the blade the normal way. 😐 A piece caught on the blade, chipped off and flew right up. Which brings me to my next point... safety glasses are very important! Thanks for checking out the video bud!!
5:30 Reverse drilling is also good on perfect holes in ceiling drywall for ceiling mount lights. :) But ya, great tip. Not to many people know this one.
Nice installation! I'm on my third one of these Englanders. The auger motors seem to wear out but having two old ones I have stripped out all the good parts so the latest should last awhile since I have a good inventory. The customer service is decent but the augers went on the coldest night of the year, -30, (I'm in Maine) and I couldn't get a new auger for a week so I bought a new stove from HD. Pellets are my only heat source. I have an older and louder one in the basement too that I use when it gets really cold. I use about 5 tons a year. Couple of things: The small hole you first pointed to is the igniter. I didn't run the intake outside I ran it near a slider that is cool so I don't need to waste energy heating cold air and you might get 40#s in the hopper if you stack the pellets one by one. Otherwise its about 30#s.
Dude, you are awesome, and the content is great! I'm impressed with your willingness to help out others as well. You've inspired me to make a plan for purchasing a dewalt oscillating tool! Continue the good work.
Hi Doug ✋ I had a wood/coal stove for years but I couldn't carry another bucket of coal or chop wood again if my life depended on so I'm very grateful for my heat pump. I had never had an air conditioner either so when I bought this place I feel spoiled. Lol. Thanks for another great video. It brought back some pretty good memories of chopping wood and hauling coal. Kids now days don't have a clue. 🤗
I have one and have had it for 20 years, it’s cheaper for me to pay for natural gas. One 40 lbs bag of pellets is $7 and I can burn one bag in 11 hours x 30 days on a month = $210 running my natural gas furnace at 75 has never cost me more than $150. When I first put it in I was buying bags for 3 bucks, and I buy a pallet at a time when I was burning.
Nice installation. I think you will see soot on your wall after a season like I did. I reversed my pipe down since it's forced exhaust anyway and works well
You are aware that you drilled thru asbestos siding? At time marker 5:49 you can see it. The siding underneath the insulation has vertical lines on it. As you do the close up to it, can plainly see it's not wood, but asbestos.
This looks scary easy to me. Ive seen so many ways to install the exhaust pipe is the only confusion for me. Some go straight out to a slightly downward pipe outside. Some is like they installed and some have the bends inside the house.
Hey Ruben! Get a long drill bit, probably 1/8 inch would do and drill a pilot hole from the inside all the way to the outside, then your hole saw pilot bit can sit in that hole and you can cut each side. Hope this helps!!! Thanks for watching and good luck!!
You will have to check with your local codes. It has been a while since this install but I am pretty sure it was part of the local code to do it that way. I hope the video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Did you use any heat resistant caulk for the connection inside the house on the exhaust pipes? Was just curious if there is a chance of any leaking emissions. Thanks for the video! I’m about to install one like it, that does not have cold air intake.
I just put one in at my house. The instructions said to put high heat silicone caulk on the outlet side of the stove to the stove adaptor/clean out tee fitting. All of my pellet vent exhaust pipe had a silicone gasket at the joints, so I didn’t use any there. Idk if this is to late, but I hope it helps someone.
Haha yeah it can be a little intimidating for a lot of people but as with all my videos I am just hoping to give people ideas and maybe a little confidence to work on their own home. As always, thanks for checking out the video!!
I can’t believe that you didn’t put some kind of hearth underneath it. That is standard fire code where we live. As well...no heat resistant silicone on the exhaust vent inside or out?? That’s sketchy too.
Thanks for the video . Question ? Are all Type L vent universal ? Will 1 interchange with another I have duravent 3" PVL Will another Type L vent work Or would it have to be Duravent or Selkirk brand specific . Thanks for your time
It’s not really needed, they’re twist interlocking. I had one joint that was at an angle that leaked slightly. I used 3M heat tape on it and problem solved.
Why can't you eliminate the outside drop T and just go straight to a cap? Why do you need the vertical rise outside . If you don't have issue with snow or land scaping? Tia
Great job love your videos. One question. I have a friend that installed a pellet stove and it was so noisy you couldn’t carry on a conversation near it. This was ten to fifteen year’s ago, have they gotten quieter?
Hey Don! Yes, this one was extremely quiet. Only thing you could (sort of) hear was the feeder turning which was very quiet. Thank you for the kind words and for checking out my videos!!
I have the same stove. It heats the room its in and not much more. Hate to say it but my house is not insullated very well, but just wondering if its underrated or if its just not doing a good job. my house is 1100 s/f, I set it a 3-9 top 2 and 4-5-1 bottom 3.
I have one more question, the appliance adapter doesn’t feel as snug as I want it to, do I apply silicone and can I use screws or will I ruin the pipe coming out of the stove
I could use one of those right about now. I haven't turned the heat on yet and it's 55 degrees in my house. My goal is to not turn it on until I reach 49, lol.
Oil to heat our house is now 6$ per gallon!! It would cost you around $35-$45 per day. Instead we just purchased a pellet stove and heard it will use a bag a day $6 per day in cold temp
Not a recommended way of having the rise on the outside. It sucks for down the road when you want to switch stoves. You either have to find the same stove or make a new hole. Rise inside the home then go out.
Yeah, I should have gone into more detail about that. I do believe I said something like, "We got lucky". Thanks for the comment and feedback, Frank! And thanks for watching!

Nice video! Thanks for the tip on the drill in reverse for vinyl siding, I never knew that. Thank you!
Yeah it makes a huge difference! Thanks for checking out the video!
Super clean. Great to add that extra flame retardant insulation I'm sure. That residing the outside looked fantastic.
Thanks Nathan! I really appreciate it!!
Cheers! I got mine installed, thanks largely to this video. It definitely took the intimidation out of the process!

Perfect ending! The job is well done, the fire is going, the dog is at your side and you have a beer. What more could you want?
Doug should change his 60 years old steam heating system to hot water with thermostatic valves on those cast iron radiators. Great job with the stove.
Love the end beer toast. 👏👏👏

Damn your pretty handy, if you ever want a working vacation in Florida I have LOTS of odd jobs that need to be done 😁
I'll keep that in mind!!
Beer! My favorite part of the job. :)
Same! 😁😁
Ahh a warm fire and a cold beer😎👍
Could you have exhaust go through the roof? I'm replacing a wood stove and wanted to just run exhaust through existing hole in roof.
You are aware that you drilled thru asbestos siding? At time marker 5:49 you can see it. The siding underneath the insulation has vertical lines on it. As you do the close up to it, can plainly see it's not wood, but asbestos.
Nice job guys. Very professional.
Great video for your diy homeowners. Thank you for the vinyl siding tip.
Thanks for checking it out Cheryl!

Awesome job, I’m installing mine this year, a little nervous... how do I make sure the inside and outside hole line up perfectly ?
Hey Ruben! Get a long drill bit, probably 1/8 inch would do and drill a pilot hole from the inside all the way to the outside, then your hole saw pilot bit can sit in that hole and you can cut each side. Hope this helps!!! Thanks for watching and good luck!!
Great install, thanks for sharing
Very nice job! Why does the cold intake have to be routed through the wall?
So your not taking your heated air and throwing it out the chimney
I also heard that it does a cleaner burn so not much ash
Great video!
Do you know why you had to have such a long extension of vertical exhaust pipe on the exterior?
Hey Charles, that was just to keep it away from the wall enough. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. When you installed the pipe, outside, you went up about 8 ft? Is there a reason for that? Or can I just vent it like a dryer?
You will have to check with your local codes. It has been a while since this install but I am pretty sure it was part of the local code to do it that way. I hope the video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Do all burners need a cold air inlet?

Great tutorial thanks 👍👍
Thanks for share my neighbor gave me the exact same model. Now I know what to do!
This was awesome, came out great!
Thanks man!!
What exact pieces did you use to go from the stove outside? Was that the adapter with an adjustable 90? Brand? Thank you
Good grief! This is not a project for the faint of heart to be sure. Great post though and nicely detailed. I love you channel 👍💕😎🍻
Haha yeah it can be a little intimidating for a lot of people but as with all my videos I am just hoping to give people ideas and maybe a little confidence to work on their own home. As always, thanks for checking out the video!!
You did a quality installation. Getting ready to install one myself.
Did you install yours? If you did how did you do? Wanting to install one.
great video guys!
For heat retention, would it not be better to vent the pipe internally and go through the roof if possible?
Wait, what did you screw that cold air intake grille into on the outside? There’s no wood to screw into.
Very nice!
always check for studs with either a stud finder or small drill bit, you got luckey!!
What happens if a stud is right where your hole goes ?
Do you have to run the one pipe up outside or is it ok just level outside with other with no extra pipe
I can’t believe that you didn’t put some kind of hearth underneath it. That is standard fire code where we live. As well...no heat resistant silicone on the exhaust vent inside or out?? That’s sketchy too.
If you look closely you will see that there is a hearth stone under the stove.
The pellet stoves do NOT burn as hot as a regular wood stove.
Only thing I would do different is put a clamp on the intake side. If you lose power, smoke will fill the room as it will plume out the intake.
Thanks for the video . Question ? Are all Type L vent universal ? Will 1 interchange with another I have duravent 3" PVL Will another Type L vent work Or would it have to be Duravent or Selkirk brand specific . Thanks for your time
So no high temp sealant between connections??
It’s not really needed, they’re twist interlocking. I had one joint that was at an angle that leaked slightly. I used 3M heat tape on it and problem solved.
Only problem as to mobile or manafacture home pellet stove needs be bolted to floor and grounded to frame .
Is it normal on first fire up of new stove for it to leak smoke in the house ?
At 41 sec that not a cold air intake, that the ignition for the pellets 🤣
At 10:38 you can see it, you have ingnition.
thank you for your video can i know your pellet stove i can buy one .thaks
No heat resistant silicone?
Why can't you eliminate the outside drop T and just go straight to a cap? Why do you need the vertical rise outside . If you don't have issue with snow or land scaping? Tia

Fire caulking is the only... caulking suitable
Where would you buy one and how much?
anyone know the brand and model is that?
NICE neat work guys, now come over to my place & put one in....👍
Love your work
Thank you so much, Delma!
Never said has it electric needed what's powering fan in burner
Nice
Are all pellet stoves requiring that process?
Did you use the scrape pieces of siding to fix the cracked siding underneath the fresh air vent?
Forgot to tell folks about finding out where your vertices studs were before initial cut?
What if a stud is right where your hole goes?
@@micahsmith6315 Micah, Selkirk makes a lot of elbows, 45’s,90’s just go to one side or the other?
At 5:52 I'm thinking that with my luck I'd break the bit. I feel a little better now.
😁😂 Hope the video helps out. Thanks for watching!
They are supposed to have at least 12 inch clearance above the ground and 6 inch clearance on all sides.
I could use one of those right about now. I haven't turned the heat on yet and it's 55 degrees in my house. My goal is to not turn it on until I reach 49, lol.
I am also very tough with turning the heat on. Just so expensive! Blankets and sweatshirts are our friends! haha
My gosh this is kind of fricken hard to do man 😅 i dont know how im gonna pull this off and November is already here 😢
Why did you do a pipe upward. I see so many just doing a straight out and done
Are all American houses built of cardboard?
Ha! no, some are brick, metal, concrete and marshmallows with sprinkles on top.
How much would an install cost if u hired someone else to do this?
$350-$700 depending on what type of home and if you want it vented through the wall or roof
Cool
Oil to heat our house is now 6$ per gallon!! It would cost you around $35-$45 per day. Instead we just purchased a pellet stove and heard it will use a bag a day $6 per day in cold temp
Last scene 🍻🍻🍻
Cheers!
Actually according to code a wood burning stove only needs to be 10 inches from a wall.
12 inch clearance above ground and 6 or more inches on all sides
🎉neat job
the siding behind the vinyl looks like asbestos siding
Why is the stove always in the corner.
Tighter clearance to combustibles
you forgot to show checking for where the studs are in the wall ! Want to avoid running into one !
Not a recommended way of having the rise on the outside. It sucks for down the road when you want to switch stoves. You either have to find the same stove or make a new hole. Rise inside the home then go out.
the most obvious issue you left out was studs behind the wall and wiring
Yeah, I should have gone into more detail about that. I do believe I said something like, "We got lucky". Thanks for the comment and feedback, Frank! And thanks for watching!
👍🏽🤗
all good until sped up the video not cool.
😴🍺👌😎🍺
I had that same stove. It is a piece of shit compared to my new pelpro.
to install anything in American paper houses is very easy
Already wrong. That's the igniter. Not cold air.
Seemed a bit loud could barely hear you chinking your beers!
Oh, your house is like mine. My house is also made out of styrofoam and has no OSB sheathing. 🫤 I wish I had known that before I bought the place.
