Shed Wood Burner - Safety Considerations
Installing a stove in a shed, a log cabin or an off grid home is a fantastic idea. There are some things to consider prior to doing so.
To reduce multi fuel wood burning stoves costs and heat loss, it's vital that your shed or cabin be properly and properly insulated. Insulation can help reduce dampness, and improve the fire safety.

A shed log burner can be used to heat a shed or summerhouse. But, it is essential to select the correct stove for your home and ensure that it meets all of the safety standards required. A stove that is too large won't be capable of properly venting and also will quickly build up the flue. On the other side, a stove that is too small won't be capable of heating the space effectively.
It is important to first determine the dimensions of the shed and then decide on the location of the stove. Once you've determined the location you'll need to construct an open hearth for the stove to sit on. The hearth should be at least 12mm thick and made from non-combustible materials. The safe distance between a single-wall flue pipe and any other combustible materials is 3x the diameter of the pipe however, this distance can be reduced by using an insulative board as shielding.
After you've built the hearth, then put in the stove. Based on the type of stove you want to install, you may need to purchase an oven door, a stovepipe or a damper. Install an alarm for carbon monoxide in your cabin or shed, as these are smaller than homes and can quickly fill up with CO gas.
Installing a stove inside a shed will require the installation of a chimney liner to ensure safety and prevent condensation. Flue liners can be found at a wide range of hardware stores and are easily cut to the proper length. Just be sure to use tin snips or an open can opener to take off the lid and the bottom of the can, and make sure to bend sharp edges inside.
Safety
