The Chimney

Yes, it angles out between the two elbows to clear the roof overhang.

 

Looks to me as though the first elbow is angled slightly away from the house to give more clearance at the roof.
Seems like I've seen this one.
I don't think yours would need to be quite so severe, and obviously, not as tall.
Good find.

 

Let's say I decide to go through the wall and build support brackets to move the chimney further away from the outside wall. What do I need at the T connection where it goes through the wall; would I need a short section added there? I know nothing about these chimneys but have been studying.

 

I decided to go with SuperVent and through the wall; maybe not the best to go through the wall but I have ploughed ahead. I got a great deal on the wall kit; $130.00; Menards current price is $291.09 and I made sure to check the model number against Menard's listing. I went ahead purchasing the wall kit because of the good deal; money saved on the chimney goes to the hearth and wall, and I can better know placing the chimney.

 

I have another question; [of course she does ]

How high does the thimble go from the floor?

 

Kimberly, depends on your black stove pipe, pipe that goes from top of stove to the thru wall thimble, the how far from combustibles, changes with single wall versus double wall. in short you want as much of a straight shot up before going to the wall as you can get you won't need much, Most double wall is at most 12 inches from combustible or in your case ceiling. check on that even if you get some that says 6 inches I think a foot below ceiling is good.

I wish I had found this place, and asked as many questions as you! would take less of remodel now! oh check the nc13, manual they may have a minimum before angle also. had 4 inches of snow this morning! we want pics of wood stacks too

 

And don't forget you need at least 1/4" to 1/2" ,rise per horizonal foot from stove to thimble

 

That is going to happen; my friend is down for a visit and he is going to be helping me cut wood

 

According to the NC14 manual;
The black connector pipe should be 24 gauge steel and a minimum of thirteen inches (13.0”) from
a combustible wall and eighteen inches (18.0”) from ceiling.

So if I keep the top of the stove pipe at least 18 or greater from the ceiling then I will be OK; but also keep in mind that I want the rise from the stove before going into the thimble as great as possible; is this correct?

 

yes you are correct, I am assuming that is a minimum, the 24 gauge, that would be a single wall pipe, if you want closer clearances you could go to a double wall pipe for a little more money. I would recommend this as my thru wall faceplate is about two feet wide and I cannot do the math on how a 6 inch pipe goes thru middle of 2 feet with 13 inch clearance both sides. one more recommendation call your insurance company. see what their regulations are. most just say to manufacturer requirements and then you have use a single wall pipe going thru 2 foot thimble and they will say not to code.

the double wall pipe will allow closer to ceiling having more straight up from top of stove will help with draft. better to have too much draft and a damper to lower it than not have enough. Ohh the stove has the rear heat shield and blower so it can go closer to wall.

I am assuming you will need less than 8 feet of double wall and 1 or 2 angles. 4 feet up off stove to angle 3 feet to wall.
yes the from angle to thimble need to rise half inch per foot per backwoods savage, who I would trust more than an engineer

I'm a fan of Single wall for straight up install ,but in this case the benefits of double wall out weigh the cost

 

While researching stove pipe I came across "telescoping stove pipe". How does this work? I will think it would leak smoke into the house.

 

AKA slip joint. Its an adjustable length section of pipe. Necessary for a top vent, straight up pipe install to make the connection. If the pipe is short enough to fit between the stove and the ceiling, it has to get longer (telescope) to make the connection. When venting through the wall, it may not be necessary if you cut the pipe to length, then install. Some one that has done a through the wall needs to confirm this.
Slip joints do not leak. The two pieces overlap by several inches.
