A fireplace stove for the gazebo - how to install a goat?

I put a gazebo in the garden. Initially, it was supposed to be used for relaxation on warm afternoons. Both me and my Ania have a large family, so we often have guests. So we thought that we would transform the gazebo into a summer house, where we could accommodate our relatives. So I brought water and electricity to the building and insulated the walls with wool from the inside. There was also the issue of heating. I did not want to install electric heaters or central heating, because they seemed too expensive an investment. So I put on a fireplace stove, i.e. goat. I chose one with a power of 8 kW.

Installing the fireplace stove step by step

1. I started the work from making the inlet to the chimney. Here I must point out that in the gazebo I have only one chimney measuring 10x20 cm. So there was no problem with connecting the stove. However, I learned that the inhabitants of single-family houses and tenement houses must consult a chimney sweep on this matter. A person skilled in the art will judge whether a given channel can be connected and whether it has a suitable cross-section. He will also issue an appropriate certificate.
2. Then I removed a piece of carpet from the floor and made a cement mortar screed. Its dimensions are 90x90 cm and 3 cm thick. When the mortar hardened and dried well, I was able to start laying the tiles. I chose black marble tiles which I attached to the stone with glue.
3. The next step was to finish the corner with tiles imitating stone. For this I needed: putty, stone glue, grouting mortar, tungsten saw blade for cutting, distance crosses, and of course selected tiles.I was arranging the tiles from the bottom, making sure that the level is kept every few rows. I wondered for a long time how to finish the sides. I could cut the tiles to a straight line, route them so that the pattern was tapered towards the top, or alternate them. I chose the latter solution. Finally, I impregnate the whole with a stone preparation and fill it with a grout.
4. Finally, I was able to start assembling the stove itself. I put it in its final place. I installed a reduction (exhaust gas connection necessary in this type of installation). I put a pipe on it, an adjustable elbow with a cleanout hole and a second pipe connecting the whole with the chimney. I filled all joints with fireplace sealant. I left it all for a day to let the preparation dry well. I was finally able to light it. I had no briquettes so I used dry wood. After a while, pleasant warmth spread through the gazebo. Here I must warn those who have young children. You have to be careful not to approach the stove, because the housing quickly heats up to almost 300 degrees.In the evening after work, my wife came to check the work progress. She was delighted. She was joking that we need to move to the gazebo.
