I’m coming to the end of my new shed build. The roof will be 4×2 rafters, 18mm OSB, breather membrane, battens, then cedar shingles. I’m at the stage now where I’m about to batten and add the shingles.

I’ve been looking at the Frontier stoves as a nice cheap solution for some heat and to warm a kettle but I’m not sure of exiting the flue through the roof. They do supply a shed flashing kit for this stove but I don’t know how or if this will work. Do I fit it on top of the breather membrane and below the shingles?

My frontier stove in my shed.
The frontier doesnt sit up very tall, so you may well want to put it on a pedestal, especially if your roof is high.

Passes through profiled bitumen sheeting (onduline/coraline) via a high temp silicone flashing like wot you link to.

the flue pipe is only 2.5-3″ in diameter so make sure your flashing goes small enough. The one I used was 40-90mm, the newer part at fluesystems is 10-90mm so will be fine.

I love stoves (got two in the house) but I really can’t see the point in putting one in a shed unless you’re going to be in there for 3+ hours on a regular basis.
I’ve got a pare stove and single/twinwall and was going to put it in my office (converted stables) but it’s just not as good as an oil filled rad on a 7 day timer.
Sometimes you can be just too niche.

go for it.

Oooohh another shed thread 😀

I have exactly the same plans so I am very interested in this. I am under strict instructions not to start my built until the end of the month after my daughters 18th birthday party which will include family BBQ etc. I am kicking my heels at the moment !

Sharkbait, your Manclub membership card has been withdrawn.
For shame. 🙁

Stoner, that looks lovely. Is that base all fixed together or would a direct hit from a carelessly-swung bit of 2×4 send you to oblivion?

It’s a suspended concrete t-beam floor with concrete block in-fill.
It’s not going anywhere.

I used it as the shed is actually leased from the Malvern Conservators and I wouldnt have been able to install a concrete fill. This is demountable.

For proper finish you should lay some mesh and add a screed top to it, but although I park the camper van in there (on bearers to spread load) I dont drive in and out of it regularly so dont need the additional strength. Not that it’s isnt pretty butch stuff already.

Delivered last night (£50). I’m going to cut it up with a nail file and split it with my bare hands.

I’ll then carry each log in my teeth and stack them in alphabetical order in here……. can I reapply?

Lose the bunting, sissy-boy.

Meh, it was there when we bought the place – give me a chance it’s only been 12 years 😆

doh, martinhutch, sorry having re-read your post I realise you meant the stove base.

The grids are screwed down to the oak bearers, the feet of the stove are zip-tied to the grids. Nothing’s going anywhere, those bearers weight 15Kg each.

If its going to be fixed in place would you not make a better stand for it so it doesnt have a huge footprint?

Nailfiles are for nancy boys. If you can’t split the wood using shear will power then something is wrong for you. Chuck Norris only has to look at a tree and it re-arranges itself into a neatly stacked woodpile…

joshvegas – bigger footprint is safer, less likely to back into a hot stove as there’s a defined perimeter, less likely to leave anything too close to it etc.

Building regs for domestic stove installation specify a 1/2″ floor height difference at a safe perimeter for the same kind of reasons.

If its going to be fixed in place would you not make a better stand for it so it doesnt have a huge footprint?

I was thinking that. I have an almost identical one in mind and was thinking of maybe a wall mounted bracket to leave the floorspace free.

admittedly I have a fair bit of space to be flippant with it.
If the space is at a premium, then you dont have to leave the frontier set up, just leave the last flue piece hanging in the silicone flashing, coallpse the rest and fold the fire box away on a shelf for summer.

Stoner if you ise it as it i tended aswell I get it. I was thinking more along the lines of reducing the floor space of the actual stove by rigidly fixing it in place on legs with a a guard rail to sit on and warm your arse. Lovely. Also you need to get this kettle…http://www.ronniesunshines.com/frontier-stove-water-heater.html

have you seen the price of that kettle! 😀
I have and have poo-poohed the purchase… 🙁

I have but think how good it would look.

Still can’t see how to use the flashing kit with my roof design. I can see one of these working better > http://www.fluesystems.com/shop/V-Seal_VASR50170.html

Lose the bunting, sissy-boy.

Ha…. says the chap with the ghey mower. And are those fairy lights?
