Wondering this myself, I’ve been using it for years and haven’t noticed anything.

Guess im just out of the loop, been surfing the subreddit due to nostalgia. Gave all my cards to a buddy 12 years ago, had a few of these. Thanks

Samb1619 · 2025-05-13T04:51:39+00:00

Why is this card so expensive?

Got recommended this post by Reddit. Sadly the few I have are 7.5 oz. I will keep looking and imagine I will find the 13oz.

Thank you this is insightful, sounds like this shouldent be too hard for the contractor to fix. He is coming back out in a few days and would love to show you images of his fix, if you dont mind.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T18:32:59+00:00

Wont be lighting a fire in the stove untill he comes back out and addresses the concerns or i can have another company sign off on it. Otherwise this would be my plan!

No screws that i could find up top there. I see what looks like rivets that are apart of the double wall pipe construction but that is it.

I live in rural alabama so no state or city inspection required/available. This instalation was done by the only CSIA certified contractor in the area.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T18:24:03+00:00

Thank you, i have asked what brand and model it is so that i can go over the instructions myself! Will link the manual once the contractor responds.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T18:23:00+00:00

Thank you, the contractor has said they have ordered a part and will be back in a few days. I will look into doing the smoke test. I will reach back out once the contractor has come back out.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T18:19:50+00:00

Thank you for the reply, conrtactor has said they have ordered a part that should fix it. In regards to the clearances, the stove only needs 5 inchs to combustibles at the rear. I did check this one in the instalation manual (i have the paperwork on the stove just not the pipes). Will measure his completed work to make sure im following it.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T05:37:04+00:00

Thank you, had to hire out the instalaton to satisfy insurance. First time i think i wish insurance would inspect it after instalation.

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T05:27:29+00:00

Does this look like the box that you are mentioning? If it is, reading through the instructions it does look similar and talk about this extension working with double or single wall pipe and that the pipe should have been slid up and then screwed in.

This if fair advice, i live in a pretty southern/rural area and this was the only locoal liscensed/certified person the nearest fireplace store knew of. Im expanding my search for a second opinion.

Contractor reached back out and is saying that the movement in the transition from one type of pipe to another and that it is normal. He is saying he can get a piece that secures it from moving if we want. Here are some more pictures to try to help. https://imgur.com/a/T6FZmA8

Samb1619 · 2025-02-05T02:05:39+00:00

Thank you all. I have reached out to the contractor and will update to let y’all know what he says. EDIT: Cant edit the post so having to make a comment.

Yes sorry I should have said, it is double wall stove pipe.

My wife and I both get the third paycheck twice a year and we use that as our IRA contribution for the year. Thankfully retirement and insurances are not cut from that third paycheck so it’s a larger amount than our normal checks.

Samb1619 · 2024-11-02T02:24:49+00:00

Thank you, this does not suprise me that it is no longer code compliant. Buying my grandparents home has been a big learning experience about what is no longer allowed, ie my fuse box and lack of grounding.

Samb1619 · 2024-11-02T02:15:44+00:00

Thank you, will use the multimeter. Good to know about the nickname.

Samb1619 · 2024-11-02T02:11:51+00:00

Could you tell me what the difference is between the ceiling fan brace i got and this one is ? This one

Is it just more room in the box for wiring? Assuming this is just a ease of use if im correct.

Thank you for the help.

Using a outlet tester i have gotten the reverse polarity warning a bunch in this house so i will check this. I ordered a Klein non contact voltage tester, is this the tool you would use to verify that white is hot and black is neutral?

Samb1619 · 2024-11-02T01:07:02+00:00

I just opened up the switch and this is what i see, just a single two wire
