    I'm kinda kicking myself in the rear for not going with multitfuel when I put mine in. I had some venting that came with it that I used and wanted to stick with the same brand, so I went with Selkirk VP. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I'd gone with multi fuel.

    If pellet prices ever fly through the roof and corn/pits/fossilized rabbit poop gets cheap, I may swap the venting out. Time will tell.

    The 6" bracket goes on the 4" pipe?

    :( That's cheaper than it is here. Last I knew it was about $165/ton around here. Still cheaper than pellets, but bulk storage is my main issue.

    No. I bought both brackets. I only used the 4" bracket on the Clean out T (the very beginning is just 4" vent) After the T it transitions into the 6" vent with OAK outlet.

    Maybe a pic would help? (Dusty back there :()

    Yeah, at $125/ton I was willing to give it a try. If the price was closer to pellets maybe not, by the time you take into account the bulk issues. I borrowed a gravity wagon from my neighbor, bought some corn from the elevator, and I have it stored in barrels and trash cans in my basement. I even had a nice little contraption made up to funnel it through a basement window into the barrels, but it didn't hold up well enough. Had to carry quite a few 5 gallon buckets down the stairs.

    Was that for the 4" or 3"?

    Looks like the 3", the endurance calls for 4"

    All of the DT is 4"? I thought?

    It can start as 3", but goes up to 4" at the T. Or if your stove has a 4" outlet, then you can run 4" all the way. But the Fahrenheit has a 3". So you need the 3" appliance adapter, then the 4" increaser, and 4" for the rest of the system.

    Yeah, the M is more expensive. Looks to be a lot more expensive. Whatever you do, stick with 4". Your insurance agent won't like the 3", nor will the inspector (if you need an inspection).

    I only got DT for my Enerzone because it is only a pellet stove (but will burn other high ash pellets/switchgrass, etc). If I ever want to burn a cheaper biomass, it will be in the Fahrenheit that has Multi fuel rated vent (Pellet vent pro).

    I did see the Duravent 4" multifuel kit for $380
    Downside is more labor installing the OAK
