You can probably use this project, everyone has to start somewhere, just follow the rules, and it should go. Follow the "rules" need to know all.
Wood stoves have special requirements for the installation, beyond the intermittent for the penetration of the roof is necessary.
Creo Inc. uses the International Residential Code (I have no other reason, have both met the structure of the VA at the last conference, I attended the ICC). Call your building or Community Development Department and speak with an inspector. To find out what year they took the code and then buy a copy for themselves. All contractors must have a copy of the current codes for areas in which they work, anyway. You may already have a copy, if applicable, see Chapter 18 of IRC 2006, are most of the rules here. Code also requires that the emergency exit, and lists the Channel ports, and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
You will also find a copy of the International Fuel Gas Code lend a handReference and description of the different ventilation systems conditions.
It is important that all components of the combustion of a manufacturer of the stove, it is the information given at registration. The entire system must be enrolled in a wood stove. Make sure the minimum spacing in the code referred to observe, see Chapter 13 of IRC of this information, and to ensure that its jurisdiction did not make any changes to relevant sections of the Code.
I can not stress enough clearance issues. Cause too little distance from combustible materials, or at home, walls, wallpaper, curtains, structural elements, roof terraces, shingles, or fire. And you can not take too long, perhaps for the first use of the furnace.

The owner of the flight (with the help of a police officer, who (accidentally) with a broken knee, I could not see through the smoke) and smoke-minorHalo. The insurance can not for damage caused by improper installation am I meeting with the experts next week. Was (The estimate of the damage that I saw was burning about 10 minutes after FD extinguished, is more than $ 45.000,00).
