Best Chimney Pipe Liner? converting 6" woodstove to pellet

What models would any of you recommend?

I believe its single wall to the ceiling, then double wall through the attic if that makes a difference. Also this stove will be burned hot 24/7 for atleast 6 months out of the year so I am hoping to find something that hold up to more cleanings than milder climates.

TIA

 

Bump...

I looked at a picture taken before we bought the home and its in terrible shape, too gross to post the pic. Conveniently that view of the pipe has been blocked since I moved here last Oct. Anyway its not worth refinishing. Can I get a duravent kit and leave it plain metal instead of lining the old gross pipe? Is there any safety benefits either way? Would someone know the name of keyword to googling the 4" kit?

Can I run the 4" duravent kit pipe through the old 6" double wall in the attic?

thanks

 

Answered one of my own questions, yes pellet pipe through old class A.....

 

Yes, It could be direct vented. As long as code was followed. Most code have height limits due to snow levels.

I'd suggest an up and out though. JIC you replace the stove down the road and the new unit has a higher outlet. The draw back is there could be a chance of staining on the homes exterior due to soot. Through the roof should help eliminate the chance of that.

I think the OP already has the hole through the roof. Unless you plan on keeping the wood stove? Using the existing hole sounds like the better option.

 

Ditto J's reply, and 10' to 20' snow drifts that started in Nov and did not melt until late May. I also read somewhere that straight up is recommended even though it can direct vent. Thinking it was the owners manual? It will be our "furnace", 24/7 for minimum 6 months per year so I am going as safe as possible. Also, in my particular situation I only have one exterior wall to the outside, 20' long and filled up 16' with windows.....(triple pane w special order high solar gain glaze!)

 

Fantastic, thank you! Luckilly Dear Husband is a cautious man and can get roofing materials at a discount. I forwarded your post to him, thanks! And no worries about the collar color, poor neighborhood full of great people. Everything on the exterior that has paint is sandblasted from the wind in a few short winters anyway

 

You have incredible listening skills! The existing stove will eventually be used in my husbands new man cave on que for next summers remodeling. This entire home was his man cave, on a lake, backs up to BLM, no covenants etc, but things changed and I invaded it...... We never intended to actually live in this fishing cabin but it made too much sense not too. Thank you for your input!!![/quote]

 

Pellet stoves has a lower flue temp than wood stoves. But pellet stoves sometime push fumes(usually on start up) due to a pressured exhaust. So all seams within the dwelling will need to be sealed.

I have seen several pellet stoves connected to wood venting. Pellet venting and a proper adapter used to connect it to the wood venting. I would also suggest sealing all interior seams even the wood venting.

 

I have some new questions if you can answer VENTING

I want to move our new stove to the corner of the room, logical for heat distribution with the eco-65 cfms. We will close up the old woodstove pipe location. New pipe and new hole in roof as well. The 6" pipe is just plain old and neglected and would take more than I can manage to make it decent again.

1) Vent, Straight up through roof ok? I found calculations for how long we can run venting for our new stove, we "could" use 45* angles to get it back to old woodstove pipe location but I would rather go straight up and keep the pipe out of our way... Is there and advantage to using the old woodstove pipe opening besides to cost of closing up old opening and making a new one?

2) Do I NEED an attic off-set? Any reason not to go straight up with new venting install?

3) Is sealing the pipes together with RTV (specified) the same stuff we used on valve cover gaskets on our old Chevy trucks?

4) Is the galvanized pipe easier to keep looking clean? I have always had black woodstove pipes that look dusty quickly.... (Dirt roads, dogs, etc)

5) the parts I *think* I need from Duravent are: ( please tell me what items you might add or delete from below, I would be grateful!)

vertical flat ceiling kit (4PVPKVA)

Fresh Air Intake kit (3PVP AIK)

Pipe for just under 20' (if straight up), blk or galvanized....

90* angle for base of exhaust & clean Out Tee 4PVP TB

I think the flat roof flashing comes in the ceiling kit above?

Attic Insulation sheild....Unless its included in the ceiling kit ablove? Do you know? (4PVP-IS)

Could the the horizontal venting end cap benefit us in our nonstop wind that carries snow and dust in it? I was thinking upright with the end facing downward?

6 ) I cannot locate fresh air intake diameter in the eco-65 owners manual, does anyone know? Also the Fresh Air Intake kit from Drolet looks like rubber clothes dryer vent lined with fiberglass insulation, is that all it is or am I missing a rigid pipe to keep pit open? Or should I just order the PelletPro OAK listed above?

Sincerely,

Pellet newbie

 

3) Is sealing the pipes together with RTV (specified) the same stuff we used on valve cover gaskets on our old Chevy trucks?

Found a utube video, apparently it comes in caulk tube and drolet specifies 500*.

Will go find it!

 

ps, who is doublewide6 doing the great pellet stove videos?

 

Imacmans pic above, is the stove I was talking about in our last PM (stoves with 45°'s and offsets). Some look great (Like his!!)

I don't think doublewide6 is a member here? Are these videos on YouTube?
