Build wood stove foundation & Chimney hood

[Funkishus_-36]

Yes, I agree with you, 15000:- is way too much in my opinion. The materials can’t cost that much. I would have tried to make a masonite template and cast it myself. You can fix a lot with the plaster afterwards. If it doesn't turn out well, you can just throw it away - low material cost.

We installed a Jötul kitchen stove a couple of years ago. I was planning to build the foundation myself since I tried this once before, but since I still had to install pipes in the chimney channel, I let the mason make the foundation too. We also have arches underneath, and I'm pleased with the result and don’t think I could have done it as well myself.
But cement-based products and I are not exactly best friends

At first, we also considered having a hood over it, but concluded that it would be too much in our small kitchen, so we just installed a damper in a ventilation duct above the stove.

My father-in-law and I cut out two templates from chipboard and then attached Masonite on top of them to create a tunnel that became the arch. We then built up with fireproof bricks and let the bricks around the arch protrude and be slightly visible, but still painted over. Ah, hard to explain, I'll include a picture. (if I can)

However, we haven't managed a hood yet, haven't figured out how it should look, even though it's been a few years since the kitchen was finished...
But someday, there will be one too.

Brick foundation and dome.

It resulted in a somewhat different solution in an old grand style. Of course, one might imagine it being plastered and possibly painted as well, but I think it's nicest as it is.

Hope someone gets inspired.

Really stylish! And a nice iron stove!! Would have stolen the idea outright if there was space - will be a bit more compact solution for us.

Tips for everyone like me who will have a fan or filter cassette in the hood - it apparently needs to be 1 meter between the stove and combustible materials, i.e., filter or wooden constructions... This, together with the fact that the kitchen height will become continental - means I can't have the fan in the hood, so it will be a filter 30 cm up and then an external fan. I want the hood at 1.60, not 1.90.

Moreover, the filter must not be above the iron stove or its radiant heat, so the hood will be divided into two parts inside. One with a filter cassette and the other empty with an opening at the top leading out into the room to release some warm air. Cement wall in between. Thus, there will be no actual exhaust for the iron stove. Luckily, it's mostly decorative

Did you plaster the aerated concrete or paint directly on the blocks?
What paint did you use?
I'm about to make both the hood and the stove foundation.

Best regards,

Hi Micke! I just got my foundation ready and will start on the hood. I began with double gypsum boards on the floor + a 2mm sheet metal (from my old oil tank) that I let extend 80 cm in front, for spark safety, and easy to keep clean. I built the foundation from lightweight concrete blocks, which I joined with masonry cement. After that, I plastered the entire construction with natural gypsum. This is much easier to work with than mortar! Gypsum is also approved as fire insulation. I'm planning to make the hood with a wooden frame, double gypsum boards, and then plaster with natural gypsum. I think it should work. Good luck! Korp-Johan

Here are some pictures. The idea is that the stove will be painted white and the walls around it in a different color. There have just been a lot of other projects....

Hi, what kind of wood-burning stove is this? I want a similar model but can't find one that can be built in. I'm considering if you can build in a Morsö 2140 for example?

Hello. I think it was called Byron, but it was 19 years ago… it's a regular cast iron stove that can stand independently on its included legs. It was Mariebergs who sold and built it in.

Hi. I think it was called Byron, but it was 19 years ago… it's a regular cast iron stove that can stand alone on the supplied legs. It was Mariebergs who sold and installed it.

okay awesome, it's so nice when you can see the fire
