I finished up the stove and have it installed. It’s held in place with tension alone. I have it wired through the ceiling with a lot of extra wire looped inside the stove in case I need to remove it to replace the red bulb inside. The base is separate from the main stove; the flange top and fire insert are also removable.
My inspiration was the Invicta Pow Wow wood stove. The surround is made from scrapbook paper cut with a hexagon paper punch. Yep, applied those tiles one at a time. The damper handle is from a defunct Chrysnbon kit that’s being used for parts.
