Comments on: Installing my Englander 30-NC http://matt.gehrisch.us/2009/02/01/installing-my-englander-30-nc/ Just a regular guy, living a regular life.

If it were me, I'd put the 30 where you can really enjoy it. We VERY carefully cut the carpet to the exact dimensions of the hearth pad we were building. I spent quite a bit of time planning and calculating. The hearth pad is screwed directly to the sub-floor. I opted to leave the baseboards in-tact in the event that we ever wanted to remove the hearth pad and reinstall carpet or hardwood. The walls do get warm, but not hot enough to be concerned about. I exceeded all clearances specified by Englander, as well as the R-Value for the hearth pad. According to my IR thermometer, I think the hottest the walls have ever gotten is 160 degrees, but 140 is about average. The measurements in the PDF drawing above (click the diagram to view it) have some of the dimensions marked. If you'd like more detailed measurements, let me know. I can pull out a tape and post back. Hi Art!

I purchased the same stove in December and put it into my basement connected to an existing wood stove chimney. After researching on Hearth.com, I have to choose, re-line the existing clay tile chimney, or move the 30-NC up to the family room addition and having a Class A chimney installed. This winter I had a hard time getting the heat from the stove upstairs in out ranch home. The heat was great if you were in the basement. Anyway, did you install your hearth directly over your carpet or did you cut your carpet to the dimensions of the new hearth, could not tell from the pictures? Also saw that you did not remove the floor baseboards, why did you decide to do this? What are the dimensions of the new hearth? Do the walls get hot behind the stove and stove pipe, I did not see anything on the walls. A re-install of my stove would be exactly as you have installed yours, including the light yellow walls of the room. Sorry for all the questions. Either way I have to spend some money to get my set up to work better. Very nice work. Just looked over your install.

You worked very hard on it and it turned out beautifully! Ah yes… what a process! You worked very hard on it and it turned out beautifully!
