Rain Creek Farm Chancy relaxes while David gets ready for the installation of the new heating stove. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm This is the corner of the dining room where the new heating stove will be installed. The grandfather clock has already been moved to the other side of the room, near the windows. You can see that there is a gas jet on the floor near the wall and chimney flue pipe inlet above. This must have been the same location for heat in the past. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Here it is! It takes two men to lift the stove off the back of the propane company service truck. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Look-out, this thing is really heavy! (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Most of the stove was assembled at the propane company shop. Here is a photograph of the stove set into place without the top grills. The white wire is for the thermostat that will be mounted to the wall to the left of the French doors. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Getting closer. The gas has been connected and the thermostat wired. Interestingly, no external electricity is required, it generates its own from the pilot light heat. We could have a wireless remote control, but that's just silly. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm And presto, it works! No vent required. (09.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm There are three different burners, of different size and position to replicate burning logs. The ceramic stove logs even glow when hot and look pretty realistic. The flame size is adjustable and will turn itself on and off to maintain the temperature set on the thermostat. (09.04.02) |
|
|
Rain Creek Farm We may consider adding a decorative black stove pipe from behind the stove to the flue inlet above. The output from this heater is enough for our whole house (30,000 Btu) (09.04.02) |
