So I've got a quick question for the people here. I just bought a mr heater big maxx 80000 btu have it converted to propane and i'm installing it in my garage. I already have an 8 inch metalbestos about 6 or 8 feet can't remember, running through my roof from an old woodstove i had in my shop before. can i just vent the propane heater through that with an 4" to 8" adapter or will i have freezing issues from all the moisture the propane will put out. I've looked through the manuel and maybe i just don't know what to look for but i cant seem to find an answer. I'm in the interior of alaska and it gets pretty chilly in the winter. -60F
Thanks for any help you may offer.

You will be better off if you run probably a 4" b-vent inside the Metalbestos. I have the tables if you tell me how long the vent connector is and how high the stack is. Also, is this fan assist or natural draft?

the metalbestos section is 6 feet and the heater will hang right from the ceiling so another 2 foot down from there will be all the. it isnt fan assisted.

If you run it all in B vent you can use 4”. Max input on natural draft 8’ high with 0’ vent connector is 94kbtu
