There must also be at least 150mm of hearth space at either side and towards the rear of the stove. You will also need to have 225mm of space in front of the stove door as a minimum (300mm if the stove is designed to burn with doors open).

Generally speaking, it’s far easier for a manufacturer to design a catalytic stove compared to the complicated systems involved in a re-burn stove. Most people couldn’t tell the difference between a catalytic and a re-burn stove from afar, but the catalytic stove requires more user intervention to operate properly. Additionally, catalytic stoves are not the most popular because of the expensive, fragile and temperamental catalyst system. You need to be careful what you burn, because some materials will destroy the catalyst material, and rough handling of wood may cause it to shatter. With the high cost of replacement catalysts, it’s no wonder why people are avoiding this design. Cook Stove Historical Charm: A potbelly stove instantly adds a touch of nostalgia to any space, evoking memories of bygone eras and lending character to a room.

For this, I used pipes of two different diameters: 135 mm and 115 mm. Due to the fact that the pipes were covered with rust, and in some places with paint, I had to pre-treat them with a belt sander. I also used an angle grinder with emery and abrasive wheels. My house has two levels, and the workshop is on the bottom floor. Therefore, I led the chimney through the ceiling in the workshop to the second level, and then it goes to the roof through the attic. Due to the new realities, energy has become more expensive (gas and electricity). I used to heat my workshop with electric heaters, but now, due to high energy prices, it has become impractical. So I decided to make a simple potbelly stove and a chimney by myself. I had an old wood-burning stove lying around for a long time and wanted to get rid of it for scrap. I also bought some metal pipes specifically for the chimney. Furthermore, I have a lot of metal parts, which came in handy for making this handy thing.

Glenwood is perhaps the most well known of the manufacturers to take the pot belly styling cues and make them its signature underneath layers of increasingly opulent additions of chrome ornamentation.
