accurately on top of the stove so that the front doors of
stove and oven are aligned, as well as the side accurately
aligned.
Mark with a permanent ‘Sharpie’ type marker through the
centre of each of the oven attachment holes marking onto
the stove top.
Remove the top oven and carefully drill each of the four
holes with a 5mm drill bit, taking care to accurately drill
centrally to the marked position for each hole. Ensure to
only drill through the rst layer of cast iron.
Using a tap-handle and 6mm (x1) tapping tool, carefully
thread each hole.
The ApplePie stove can as an option be tted with ducting
from the rear to an external air supply outside of the
building.
To enable connection to round ducting, the optional
external air (plenum) box must rst be tted. This simply
bolts to the rectangular air inlet on the rear of the stove and
seals with a self adhesive rope gasket, see Figure 2.4.1
Either circa 3”(75mm) or 4”(100mm) ducting can be

used. Ducting would most commonly be exible single
skin aluminium but any steel rigid ue could also be used
however it must have anti-corrosive properties.
We do not recommend the use of ducting more than 3
metres in length.
When using exible ducting less than 80mm diameter,
the ducting should be inserted into the connector on
the back of the stove: (Figure 2.4.2)
1) Apply a layer of at self-adhesive ceramic re rope
around the end of the ducting and insert it into the
connector.
2) Using some 15mm self-tapping or ‘tek’ screws, screw
through the holes on the connector biting into the ducting.
3) Finish the seal with a bead of high temperature silicon
between the edge of the connector and the ducting.
When using larger sized ducting, the ducting will go
over the connector on the back of the stove: (Figure
2.4.3)
1) If there is space between the inside diameter of the
ducting and the outside diameter of the stove connector,
apply a layer of at self-adhesive ceramic re rope around
the stove connector.
2) Carefully feed the end of the ducting over the connector
until it is rmly in place.
