Facade Tutorial

Mt. Chuckanut

Variation: Mt. Chuckanut (4' Oven)
printer friendly version

These illustrations refer to a façade on a Mt. Chuckanut 4' gas/gas (RFG-IR) oven.
Keep in mind as you read through this tutorial that we make Facade Extensions that can make much of this installation process easier. Be sure to view our commercial grade Facade Extension page for details (this link takes you to our commercial site at www.woodstone-corp.com, use the back button to return to our residential site).

Note: Click on the individual graphics for close up views. Please be patient, some graphics have large file sizes (50-100K).

Step 1

Step 1. The Base Oven
Figure 1.1
This represents a standard WS-MS-4-RFG-IR oven. Specs and CAD Symbols are available in our on-line Product Catalog.

For more details on how the oven arrives from the factory, please visit our Unloading & Moving page (this link takes you to our commercial site at www.woodstone-corp.com).

Figure 1.2
Mount the Service Panel, Toe Kick and optional Mantle per the instructions in the installation manual.

Connect the Flue to the oven’s flue collar. Please note this flue must be a “grease duct”. Please see our Venting Guidelines Page for more details.

Installation manuals ship with the oven. You can also preview these manuals, or print off extra copies, at our Manuals Page.

Step 2

Step 2. Stud Wall
Figure 2
The stud wall is built (in green). Metal studs are recommended. Consideration must be given to the wall framing position to insure the minimum one-inch offset from the back of the wall surface (sheetrock) to the oven sheet metal (see Offset Detail).

In addition, the studs on either side of the doorway must be far enough apart so that when sheet rock and tile are installed, the Service Panel can still be removed for oven service. For more info, see the Panel Detail.

Please note the location of the Toe Kick, it ships unattached and is installed at a small offset from the Service Panel to maintain room for combustion air. For more information, please see the Airflow Detail. It is very important that you do not block this airflow.

Step 3

Step 3. Custom Fabrication
Figure 3
Shown in Figure 3 in red is a customer-fabricated throat extension (we recommend using stainless steel) for the unique requirements of the installation architecture.
(This piece is required if a Facade Extension, such as those shown in Figures 3.2-3.4, are not purchased from Wood Stone.)

On top is the doorway surround, which should be metal and is usually stainless steel for sanitary reasons. It should fit snugly and be welded to the inside lip of the oven doorway to lock it in position. Note: the custom fabricated doorway span should not block or obstruct ventilation through the flue (see Weld Detail).

The service panel surround below can be sheet metal as well, but need not be stainless if is to be facaded. Both however, must be of non-combustible material (since they touch the oven).

Step 4

Step 4. Non-Combustibles
Seen here in yellow is the non-combustible wallboard. This is required directly over the oven doorway and 6" on either side of the doorway.

Non-combustible material is also required anywhere the façade touches the oven or the mantle. In this illustration, the non-combustible wallboard is used as flashing from the studs to either side of the service panel and contacts the edge of the mantle.

Usually a cement board is used for this application. Brand names of appropriate underlayment include Wonderboard and DUROCK. (Drywall is considered a combustible and should not be used).

Step 5

Step 5. Adding Drywall
Shown in white is the drywall applied to the stud wall. This portion does not need to be non combustible.
For the sake of simplicity of construction, many installers choose to make the entire wall out of the non-combustible cement board mentioned above as to avoid cutting many oddly shaped segments.

 

 

Finishing

Step 6. Finishing
Drywall can be finished with any decorative material that can be easily affixed to the wall surface such as tile, stucco, sheet metal, brick etc. Note: It is necessary for the proper operation of our ovens that the Radiant Flame Control Knob be fully accessible after all finishing is completed. Please see the Radiant Knob Detail. This knob controls temperature in our gas ovens, if you cannot adjust the knob you cannot adjust the temperature
