content is getting pretty lame
Yes and the weather sucks for good content.
What do you suggest?
How it's made locally, do what your title says " Custom".@@OneEyeCustoms
Hello Doug just a suggestion for you. You should be able to run only the blower of your gas furnace to help circulate the heat thru out your three spaces in your building .Best regard from Chambly near Montréal, Québec
Nice install Doug. We love our Harman
Nice setup
Always amazed by how well you utilize space, shelves in the wall, just awesome…
Now you and your neighbors need to figure out how to make pellets!
Thanks and it would be interesting to make pellets
My thoughts too..love a fire to warm up and enjoy but not a big fan of dealing with wood all the time. Great job on the install. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hello Doug just an idea for you. You should be able to use only the blower of your gas furnace to circulate the air that the heat produced by you pellet stove it could be better to even out the heat in the three area of you building and maybe save a bit of pellets. Maybe do a comparison test between what you demonstrate in your video and my suggestion . Best regard from Chambly near Montréal, Québec

Very nice job Doug ,Adam a big help
Yes, thanks
What a great setup you have in your garage/shop!👍👍🇺🇸
Yes, I’m loving it!
I run a Harman P38. It’s the older version of the p43. The easiest way to clean the pipe is to use a battery operated leaf blower and blow air into the pipe from inside the stove behind the fines box. I put a towel in to block the air and make sure it all goes up the pipe and doesn’t get dust everywhere. I stopped using a brush all together. I’ve been doing that for years. Harman makes the most reliable stoves. My p38 was made in 1997 and has never had a part replaced. Impressive.
Thanks and great idea!
Yadda yadda yadda nice heat stove but, please tell us the stories of those amazing looking mounts on the wall!
lol, at some point I may do a video about them.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of people that are not interested or impressed with hunting. Especially when this isn’t a hunting channel
I haven’t seen a pellet stove setup and in action - great info!
They sure seam to be very nice!!
If the top of the stove doesn't get hot (or if you fill it when it's off/cold), an easier way to fill the hopper would be to set the bag on top with a side hanging over into it, then cut the bottom of that side open. You'll only need to pick it up and dump a small portion of the bag at the end... Less spillage too.
Thats a cool setup. I would be interested in something like that for my barn. Nice job on the install.
Yes, definitely look into it!
The price tag seems excessive for a firebox with a college degree and a blower motor but it all comes down to whether it improves your regular enjoyment of your property. As long as the low maintenance and safety features meet expectations it could be a good purchase.
I am sure Keystone girl will also have something to say about upper body strength! lol
I quite enjoyed this video. I enjoy watching different heating options. Next time you should use your wife’s upper body strength though. 🤣
Thanks for watching!! And yes, next time she will bring the muscle!
Always nice to stay Cozy in the shop👍
Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
about 4:20 "I'll get my wife she has a lot of upper body strength." I LOLED. A little dig at Adams comment toward his wife lmao. (edit:made this comment right before you mentioned it)
Hahahahaha yea a little dig..
I like that you went with Harman. I plan on either a pellet stove or propane for my 30×56 pole building have not decided yet . No matter what you probably should leave it run all the time. I burn firewood in my house and it's messy!
I was influenced into buying a pellet stove about 10 years ago for the shop side of my building. It does not get used much but it seems to be the ticket for me. I have no firewood available without purchasing. Mine does not have the big ash drawer that yours does so mine requires frequent cleaning.
Overall, I am pleased with my stove.
Doug that's a really nice unit. You are probably going to enjoy sitting around shooting the bull in front of it. It seems like a really straightforward installation. They also have little fans that you sit on top of the stove that run from the heat of the stove. I saw one on Mike Morgan's channel. Anyway, stay safe, healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township
The top of the stove does not get hot enough to run that fan, I tried it on mine.
Awesome install. I have a harmon stove. You will love it!
Thanks! I hope so.
another fun video
I liked your ingenuity with the level and the drill. I would have never thought to put the level on the bottom of the battery. I’m surprised Milwaukee didn’t have a bubble on the drill.
Love the deer mounts s d thar eagle on wall
I'll be interested to see what your fuel usage rate will be. If you went through a bag a day, 1 ton is 50 days worth. At $300 a ton, that's $6 a day. I don't imagine you'll have it lit every day, or that you'll use 40 pounds a day most days. That makes your fuel cost pretty reasonable. I am curious about the access to the breaker panel. The NEC specifies that electrical panels must have a minimum clearance of 30 inches horizontally and 36 inches in front of the panel. Not that you're likely to have an inspection done any time soon :)
Good choice for heat
Nice stove Doug, you can't go wrong with a Harmon. I absolutely love mine. I would suggest a fresh air intake kit and possibly a hopper extension depending on your usage needs.
Great suggestion! Thanks
We have been heating our home with a pellet stove for the last 15 yrs and I like the heat that it provides. 2* below and great room in the house is at 72* We live in northern Wis And we burn about a bag a day!
I hope mine lasts 15 years!
Good timing, stay warm!
Thanks, you too!
Ill be getting a pellet stove in one of my cabins. I have a wood stove in one and I'm nervous with renters. Also If I give them seasoned hardwood they burn it all outside in the fire pit and we run out for heating. I think pellets will be easier to ration.
I think a pellet stove would be perfect for your cabins!! No way would I have a wood stove with renters.
That's a nice addition to the workshop. I'll keep wearing my glasses on Friday nights so you can turn the heat down and won't need to burn as many pellets to keep things warm! 😆🔥
The glasses definitely make it hotter! Hahaha
And you got tons of compliments.
Wear your blue ones next time.😆
You have all the ductwork to circulate and have an even heat in all rooms. Or hook it up to your house ductwork. I like that pellet stoves use a waste stream of manufacture to produce heat. I like how clean pellet stoves are. No bark dust and bugs. But I have access to so much wood I just can’t justify not burning firewood. I love wood heat either way.
Wood is “cheaper” for you but this is so much cleaner. My son put one in two years ago - no mess of wood and ash. Look forward to your results.
Not if you cut and split it yourself.
Saws, splitter, fuel, equipment to haul the wood and so much more…
I actually think pellets are cheaper when all in comparing the two????
Just my opinion.
Nice !
Thank you!
My father had a pellet stove and loved it, matter in fact it more than kept his house warm. and the convenience and cleanliness was worth it to him. Super easy to maintain I really think your really going to like it. Nice job installing it, looks great!! By the way keep an eye on the pellets they usually have better pricing on them if you preorder before winter starts.
Thanks for the tip!!!
Dougyver don’t forget the animal trap on the end of the exterior pipe end to stop birds nesting in the warmth of the fire .
For your application, I understand the pellet stove. In a large pole barn shop, I see firewood as an excellent source of heat, especially if one gets that wood free.
I would have loved to see the outside portion of the install when you were done.
I’ve never heard of free firewood??
Where do people get it?
my back 40. I wind up cutting up the trees any way because they block my trails. Why not put them to use. What is sad it all of the ash trees around my house are dyeing because of the beetles (northeast PA), so those too must be cut down, and ash is a great heat source. @@OneEyeCustoms
That looks great! Good addition to the shop.
Thanks 👍
Great video. I also am in the market for a pellet stove. Different insurances may not allow them, and in a garage I’ve been told ordinances may require a heat source to be 6’ off the ground. (For combustibles (gas fumes)). 🤷♂️. Not going to stop me from putting one in, but I will need to adjust some of my storages. Nice job Doug!
This is a super video! Exquisite installation all the way around. I’d 2nd or 3rd the outside air source. I had a thought on the clean out at the bottom of the flue. You could fabricate an adapter to go over the clean out and attach a shop vac to it. You can turn the vac, go outside and run your brush back and forth to clean it. This will alleviate unwanted soot dust which we all know can be a pain. Maybe the company that made the flue piping offers an adapter for cleaning? See you in the next episode Doug!
Great idea!!!!
Great video
Thanks!
For efficiency and safety this looks good. Hope the fuel price does not go up too much.
Nice stove Doug. I'm sure you will be very pleased with it. I have 2 Harman Advance pellet stoves that I heat my garage and man cave with. They are very efficient and I run mine on room temp. and keep it around 68 all day and night. Sometimes I will crank it up if I'm out there doing woodworking. Keeps it nice and toasty in there.
Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience with them!
Awesome job and video Doug just make sure your pellets don’t get moisture on them because they will turn into dust 😮😊❤
Great video Doug..now I want to install one in my shop…
I like mine so far!
I think you’re going to love your decision, going with a pellet stove. I’ve had mine going on 6 years and I love it. I’ve had the wood stove and getting the pellet stove, I’ll never go back to cutting and stacking wood every year and there is no mess. In my opinion, you made a good choice.
Awesome, glad to hear!!
👍ditto on the great timing. Nice install and thanks for sharing the cost. Didn't realize they were so expensive.
It depends on the brand and if you want a quality one. The Harmon is top quality
Nice pellet stove Doug awesome video on everything. I have a pellet in my basement it uses a bag a day and also have a gas furnace that runs a little. The pellet mostly keep my ceramic floor at a very warm temperature. I go through 3 ton a year. My basement ceiling is all open. It all comes out about the same if I just use the furnace but my floor is cold and the pellet makes a huge difference and I love it but thats just my situation.
I like it! I mean I love wood heat, and it feels the same from a pellet stove or a stick burner in my opinion. In your case that’s a nice clean area and the pellet stove is just easier. Fill that hopper set it and forget it. It would be annoying to have to fill the wood stove while working on a project with greasy hands as an example. Nice work Doug!
Yes, I think it was a great choice for that location! I’ve been enjoying it the past couple days!
Wow you proved me wrong...I was betting that you would paint that stove pipe being the excessive compulsive person you are...I am with you though I have had real fireplaces and they are a pain. You have to stay up until they go out and then the mess all over everything. I think you made a good investment
Stove looks great! Now tell us some stories on all the nice bucks hanging!
I might at some point. Problem is, some people get real bent about stuff like that… hard to tell who will like what.
The wood pellet stove looks like a good idea. Hopefully it works out for you. You need to do a deer tour. Looks like you have some nice bucks on the wall from Ohio.
I think you should have a pad under the stove. The are a few hundred for a pre made one or you can just make your own.
Good afternoon Doug, I would say that for your situation you’ve made the best choice, nice clean install. Are you going to place a convection air fan on top, does the top get warm enough to keep a pot of coffee warm if so bonus for your sitting in warmth enjoyment. With the door near by it would give you a view of snow falling as you keep yourself toasty. May the “Warmth Be With You”. 😀👍👍👍
Sitting here looking out the door as I reply!😁
Consider installing an outdoor air kit so the stove isn't burning heated inside air. Especially important in a garage that could have various flammable vapors. Been running pellets in my shop for nearly 10 years, its nice to have the stove on a few hours before doing a job to take the chill out of the building.
Great tip!
I think these things use double wall pipe and bring in fresh air through the outside part of the pipe.
I have the harman 54i I believe ? It’s a fireplace insert and we enjoy it, works well.
Ps can’t wait for the next video where you turn the pellet stove pellet into another high end project! lol
Lol
Great video! We have a Harmon P68. Best stove manufacturer in my opinion.
Try different brands of pellets. I recognize the bags you have. We finally settled on Hamer Hot Ones for the best heat output and amount of ash and fines we get. Some of the people in the far Northeast swear by the dug fir pellets.
Enjoy and keep up the good content!!
Thanks for the tips!
You did not indicate what the outside temperature was but I'm assuming it was at or below freezing. It will take a little longer to bring the garage up to temperature with all of the air gaps from the garage doors but it will make a huge difference in your enjoyment of your workspace/garage in the winter! I have used pellet stoves for the past 20+ years and still have one of the original Whitfield pellet inserts in our den. Great job Doug! As always you make things look easy...
It’s was about 25 outside and really windy!
Been running my Harman (same stove) in my barroom at house for 11 years. not 1 issue in 11 years. (knock on wood) keep clean and run hardwood pellets. Our's runs steady from November to May. Never shut down only to clean. good luck with yours. Only 1 suggestion Doug, get the deer plate for the front of the ash box door, nice upgrade.
I have to ask, what is the deer plate?
Wish I could send you a picture. Its a faceplate that Harman sells for front of ash door. Has deer scenery on it.
I also have a polished nickel trim with design that goes around door .(trim) it all came from harman at the time I bought stove. i am in Ontario, Canada
So the question everyone wants to know is,
When is Adam going to expand into making firewood pellets ?
That would be interesting
👍
Awesome idea for the garage. I suggest getting a carbon monoxide detector though.
Not a bad idea
Really neat Dough. I was thinking as you were going through the shut down process: What happens when you loose power? There is no blower to burn the fuel in the burn box, does that create a problem? Great video thumbs up.
Not sure what happens in that case. I do have back up power so that may not be a problem
I‘ve been heating with pellets since ‘96. My 1st is in my shop waiting on me to finish some work I’m doing to it.
Stove #2 is a Harmon that I bought 6 years ago and it is in my house.
Absolutely worth the price. Be sure to do cleaning as instructed , don’t forget the fines door. As stated above, do the outside air kit.
Awesome thank you
We have a Harman pellet stove as well that we love! What did the place you get it from say about putting it on your flooring? Can your flooring tiles melt?
It would have to get to almost 500 degrees to melt the floor.
The bottom of these don’t get to over 100 degrees.
What did your Insurance Co say about a pellet stove in your garage? My neighbor could not put a wood burner in his garage/workshop but maybe today's pellet stoves are ok.
Is there anything else on the outside for the chimney pipe? Or is it just that 4" trim ring flush with the outside of the wall?
The pipe goes out about 16” and then there is a turn down end pipe.
Ok, that makes sense i was wondering, nice you don't have to go vertical above the eave or peak.
Nice stove , how long will a bag heat, do you have to shut it down at night ??
I do shut it down at night just because it’s new, and I am leery of any kind of fire.
Right now, I’m going through about a half a bag a day.
I was wondering do you think its safe having those pellot bags with the plastic bags so close to stove???
The only thing hot on these stoves is the top. It is room temperature 5 inches from the sides of it.
Yes, I think it will be safe.
Are you able to burn corn also? sorry, I'm lazy and didn't look to see if anybody else had asked yet.
It might be able to, but it is sold as a pellet stove only.
Doug, how much fuel did you use in the time it was burning?
Less than half a bag. So far so good.
Hi Doug. Any idea how long a bag of pellets will last?
Looks like almost two days for me the way I am burning it.
please give updates on this im in the market for some shop heat I currently have electric heat its expensive so im looking for a safe alternative to it
Will do for sure!!
What does Adam have to say about you going with pellets instead of getting free firewood from him? Seems he owes you a couple of years of free firewood...LOL
I can get firewood anytime I want it. I just didn’t want it for heating this area of my garage.
How many hours until you burn through one bag of pellets???
It looks like I will burn a 40# bag in about a day and a half.
How long will a bag of pellets last.
Almost 2 days with the way I’m burning it
Costs of
Ellets vs Wood?
Well there is a very tough question.
Pellets are around $300 a ton.
Firewood depends on tons of things!!
Waste of money if you're not going to let it run overnight propane cheaper
I have a natural gas furnace that runs during the night. I’m not sure you caught that if you didn’t watch the entire video.
Hello Doug just an idea for you. You should be able to use only the blower of your gas furnace to circulate the air that the heat produced by you pellet stove it could be better to even out the heat in the three area of you building and maybe save a bit of pellets.
