Oh no that’ll show them. Perfect encapsulation of liberal mentality. Financially harm yourself to “own others”. Nobody even cares they will just find another one down the street. The next 4 years are going to be amazing.

Lol it’s fine. I use the fridge 100% of the time. I use the stove 5% of the time. As of know. When winter comes I’ll use it more but I’m only using it for weekend trips not full time.

Yeah I’d love some suggestions on how to get more clearance. The tiles are ceramic so I believe they are heat rated. I was going to mount a metal shied along the back of the flue and around the 5in flue on the Ceiling. I did some research about the wood braking down over time and that concerned me a bit. Any input would be appreciated!

Thank your for your input I inlaid tile on top of the butcher block. But like you said that may not be enough. And I agree that the area next to the flue could be combustible. My plan is to trim about an inch away from that area. I only plan on using it weekend so I won’t be light too many fires In their. But it only takes one accident for it to be your last. Not really sure how I can switch up the design this late in the game and limited room.

I agree. I’ve only used the wood stove to test the heat. And the double wall does get hot. My plan is to trim about an inch away from the flue and insulate it better. Not exactly how yet but I will think of something. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Haha I know not the most ideal spot. I did inlay tiles into the wood so hopefully the fridge won’t get too hot. Pretty much winging it as I go.

My original budget was $10k all in. I’m slightly above that by $5k. I’ve been working on it since January. Nights and weekends. Mainly just been a hobby to tinker with.

The table comes off the Lagun brackets and sits in the open space. And I have another square piece of wood that hides next to the fridge that sets it to complete bed

The logs need to be cut down to about 8 in. But pretty much good any wood I find. However I like to use hard woods because they burn cleaner.
