Your grandfathers stove is probably pretty old? My stove is brand new and the design and clearances it is engineered for are pretty tight...8" from each wall on a corner setting like I did, I set mine at 9 inches to be safe. My old stove, that my father bought back in 84, that I had planned on using had 36" clearance on any wall unless you did a cement board wall spaced off the wall with ceramic 1" spacers, then it was only 12" or so, but since the old stove would not pass EPA inspection or qualifications I could not use it.

Yea your right I forgot about technology.Its not my grandfather’s stove but a fisher stove that was called a grandpapa bear for its size they were cats meow back in the 70’s until the EPA shut them down for no catalyst filter .I had to put something behind it because when I feed the bear it get hot .

They were good stoves! I've had two and still have the long skinny one (can't remember which size that is?). Have a Vermont Castings "Vigilant" in the living room now for days when the OWB isn't fired up.

Those modern stove clearances are amazing, hard to believe compared to the oldies. Makes placement a lot easier.

I'd been thinking things were pretty slow, if not dead. Hope it just means folks are busy out getting stuff done.

Local box store was having a sale on insulation, was cheaper for the R24 then R20 or R22, so picked up 40 bundles of R24 for the walls of the shop. They only had 17 in stock so grabbed them first....

Week later the other 23 came in so hooked to the trailer and picked them up.

I've got a contractor lined up for all the drywall work, and another lined up for the blow in insulation, hope to have that all done in a the next 4-6 weeks?
