Wood burning stove Setup?

[Kbomb25]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum but just bought a wood burning stove for my 48 x 32 garage. I've never put a wood burner in and just wondering exactly how to run the pipe? what type of pipe? Where to install fluu? What to seal the roof with after pipe is ran through it? Any information would be much appreciated!!! Pictures of your setup would be nice if possible!!

Home Depot or Lowes should have everything you need. Stainlees steel insulated pipe, roof collars, brakets, caps etc.
This is what my Home Depot sells, http://www.duravent.com/?page=1.php. They have catalogs with instructions. In my shop I go straight up thru the roof, have about 10 feet of stove pipe, into a listed Simpson adapter, 10 feet of insulated pipe, thru the roof and a cap

I would have you check with your local governing board. These things have changed in the last few years and what you require may different. That said consider a masonary chimney inside the building as it will radiate heat after the fire is out and last many years. I had on from chimney block in my old house.

I saw harbor freight has a cast iron boxwood stove for sale for $129. Looked like a decent setup for a garage. Small unit but probably enough for a 20x20 garage. Any thoughts?

I ran a 55 gal. barrel stove last year in my 30 x 36 pole barn with 3 out of 4 walls insulated and 10ft uninsulated ceiling. I could run around 60 degrees on a 20 degree day. 4th wall done now and ceiling getting insulated this winter so I'm hoping to get even higher.

Last year I had it piped out of the roof, but have now repiped it to go of the wall. Just a personal preference. Duravent is all they sell here and it's good stuff. They have a brochure in stores or checkout the web page for really good explanations and diagrams.

Happy cutting! lol

If you are serious about wood heat,get a unit with a bricked interior and a jacket around it to heat the air.These will usually be sold as a "furnace" or "add on furnace". In addition to being more efficient than a single wall or cast stove, they are also "close clearence",thereby makeing the possibility of a fire from something next to them almost non-existant. Simpson Dura-vent for the support box and pipe,Ive looked at the stuff they sell at the box stores,and for $8 more for a 3 foot piece,buy the real deal.The stack is no place to cheap out.


http://nepacrossroads.com/ has more information re coal and wood burners than any Ive ever found

$8 more for a section compared to what? The Metabestos pipe I bought this fall was around $50/ft.

Years ago, I bought a small wood burning stove from Menards.
Keep it at least 2 feet from any walls.
I ran single wall Pipe straight up, then across to a good corner, where it was a good out of the way area to go up and out of the roof.
I used double wall pipe where it would go through the ceiling, and the roof.
use the correct roof flange and cap.
The reason I use single wall inside my garage, is to use a fan to circulate the heat off the pipe through out the garage.
Alot of your heat goes right up the pipe, may as well capture and use it.
It worked great for 10 years with out any issues. And I could get my garage to 70 degrees during Chicago winters.
Just takes a while!
Good luck!

Metalbestos single wall?, or the triple wall? the triple wall stainless duravent is 97$ for a 3 foot length here at TSC. The "house brand" triple wall at lowes is $89 for 3" length,and looks to me to be hd galvanized,not SS.The box doesnt say one way or the other.Hope your not useing singlewall metalbestos for wood.I have 2 ss duravent chimineys that i installed in the ohio place back in the seventies.They have been cleaned one time (inspected yearly)and are still in fine condition.Both were used as the only sorce of heat in the shop and house,house burned wood,shop burned soft coal.Thats the chiminey I just installed up here.

It's double wall stainless steel.

It cost me around $1500 to do the whole setup. About 18ft of pipe total.

I got everything from the Blaze King shop where I bought the stove. I probably could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere though it was nice to just cut a check and have it in my house.

I know the similar $30 fire poker kit I got at Walmart was $75 over there so wouldn't surprise me if they are a bit $$.

I really hate to be "that guy" but I'd suggest first checking with your insurance company before installing a woodstove.

I'd love to have one in my garage but around here insurance companies pretty well laugh at you when you mention a woodstove in a garage. And how they work is that if you don't tell them, they sure won't cover you even if the stove didn't cause the fire. An electrical fire could burn the joint down during a heatwave in the middle of July and they'll tell you you're SOL when they find the stove in the rubble.

Just food for thought.

Be sure it is 18" off the floor as any open flame should be. I just got what I think was a very good deal on an insert and chimney liner at dynamitebuys.com. There are a ton of other places online you can get pipe and fittings.

If you plan to use the stove a lot try to keep the run of single wall pipe to a minimum since it will lose heat faster and form more creosote.
