stove pipe question

[b turdy]

so a buddy of mine said with how I have the stove pipe now i could have a problem of gettin the 1/4 luan burnt some.  I have a 3 inch pipe out a 3.5 inch hole... the pipe is wrapped in a few cans to help with the heat but what else can/should I do to make sure my shack doesnt burn down??

I would cut a 12" square hole cover with tin, galvanized etc and run the stove pipe out of that. keeping the laun away from the chimney and ran thru the tin will help the cause

I had one like  poorfisherman said in my old garage but 30" X 30" x 1/4" thk. for my wood stove. Worked awesome. So you could do the same but with less thickness of steel of course. Home store should sell you a good size peace of steel-tin.

What do you mean by "1/4 luan"?  plywood?

[Fisherman 1]

Luan, commonly used for underlay under vinyl floor tiles, vinyl floor, door skins, usually replaced by poplar nowadays.

thin stuff....  here's what I did.....



got the stove red hott and was able to keep my finger within a quarter of an inch of the pipe on the flashing with some warmth but nothing extreme.  Definately the best bet. I have the stove on cement board with a 12 inch boarder and then 18 inch flashing border above that.  no heat on the wood at all...  in a 6 x 8 at 34 degrees, it took 10 minutes to get the temperature up to 75.  very very nice.... all I need now is ICE!!!!  that wood you see is what we call luan... pronounced lew-on

Nice stove jack.  And now I know what luan is.  Our construction grade lumber/plywood here in Saskatchewan, Canada is usually made from spruce or fir.

Luan is not exactly what I would call construction grade plywood, but ice shanties are not built to "code" any way

[b turdy]

haha by far construction grade  but super light...

Nice work on the chimney,  now for the ice come on ice.
