    Not that you want to, but there is a kit of flu pipe that terminates with the oak as part of it. http://www.selkirkcorp.com/selkirk/Product.aspx?id=7428
    Depending on the type of vent you choose also has some restriction on how close you can be to any window that can be opened. There are many way to work your system and conform to the manual. If you conform to the manual you shouldn't have any issues with your codes.
    So often to can be subject to inspectors who intertpert rules the way the see them, not necessarily to the codes or manual. You want at least a three foot elevation in your vent. Either up and out, or out and up. It is legal to go straight out, (cheapest ) but in windy conditions or power outages you will have your home fill with smoke. Hope this sheds some light.

    I did look at that pipe but I uave access to the VP vent pipe sections thanks to another member and I also recieved with the stove most of the pipe needed so ill stick with VP because ive got almost everything needed already. As for the manual it says minimum 60" rise required so ill go up 5ft inside and then out assuming the inspector o.k. it still. He was ok with that before.... I also asked for a different inspector this morning!

    The Selkirk DT has the OAK about 12" back from the exhaust. All the same pipe (inner 4" exhaust) and outer 6" for intake air. The intake air comes in the back of the cap and goes towards the stove, the nozzle diets the exhaust out and away.

    But use whatever pipe is easier and cheaper for you. The DT is nice because it's one hole and done. :)

    Agree 100%. OAK has to draw from exterior or it really isn't outside air. Use that window you mentioned.

    Why go through the floor then outside? Why not just go outside? As long as he is a foot away And lower than the exhaust, it should all be legal and safe.

    I hope you get another one. Because they can be a real PITA. But some know their stuff! Others just know what they want to tell you (because that's what they "think" is right). Rather than read a manual and know what the Manufacturer suggests and recommends.

    Agreed. Only do the down & out of the basement as a last resort. Straight out behind the stove is the way to go.

    BTW, is the side your going to vent the exhaust on the prevailing winter wind side? Don't know if anyone asked that before. Venting on that side can sometimes cause burn issues on real windy days.

    DexterDay jtakeman so I asked today about running up the wall inside the house and as told if its in the manual... It isnt. The only three options I have are straight out or straight out and up. I am ok going straight out but up could get really messy with my roof line. He said it needs to be exactly how the manual shows it.

    Need another inspector,or spend more time with him.Manual says "preferred", not has to be.On another page in manual shows going up then out through wall and into outside chimney,same thing.Now you know why I dislike peolpe(inspectors) that do not take the time to learn their job.Problem with 2 90's is you need to go to 4" pipe.(maybe you have as I did not read all the posts).Up and out generally leads to a cleaner pipe inside.

    I agree. That inspector is clueless. .

    Preferred does not mean Mandatory.

    Going straight up would be the best for the stove (would have the lowest EVL) but is the hardest to install.

    This is the easiest and my "preferred"way. Up and out.. :dex:

    There isn't another inspector the last guy got in trouble and this is the only other one... Unfortunately it's his way or the highway.... He's a lot better than the last idiot at least... The issue now is that it's only going to be approved if I follow one of the provided pictures from the manufacturer and no other way. I really can't go up through the soffit outside without a big expense and the roof isn't gonna happen. I hate to say this but I might just have to give up and sell the stove. The BS involved is really starting to tick me off........

    Every other Manufacturer has the up and out listed because it's a "safer" install. The vent doesn't get as dirty/ashy, because the vent is warmer.

    The Masonry install is exactly what you want to do.. Minus the Masonry. ;)

    There is no other spot to install it? I wouldn't sell it. Unless you buy any other stove. Because any other manual has the up and out listed.

    That's what I asked him! Lol he said only if it's masonry. Yes I have that pic. He said if I installed that way then I'd have to tear it all out and start over. According to him it's law to follow the manual to the T. I'm not being stubborn I have my hands tied.......
