#1 First of all ..... You can not by code put a wood/solid burning appliance in a garage.
#2 on to the real world .............
norrie , what do you need to know.
What i need to know is what kind of wood stove u are putting in and is it two story on one , how much attic.
If you do put a wood stovew in your gargae you have to at least follow the code to put the appliance 18" up off the floor like a hot water heater and such. ( gas fumes ect sit at low floor level ect...)
You will have to install the stove the correct way and no cutting corners to save a buck !
You can run single wall or double wall black pipe from the stove to the ceiling then .........
You will need a celiling support / ceiling boot as pictured , to hook to the beams in the ceiling and this also insulates the ceiling from heat.
You will need a fire stop between the ceiling and the second floor and also if going through two floors ( 2 story )
From the ceiling support you have to use stainless steel or galvanized double wall lock together pipe ( pictured )
If going through a second floor you can run through a hole in the ceiling of the second floor but you will still have to have a second fire stop in the attic of the attic above the ceiling of the second floor.
In the attic you will need a heat shield around the pipe , the heat shield keeps things in the attic away from the pipe.
The stainless steel double wall pipe will need 2" clearance all the way around it all the way up. If going through a second floor ( room ) the stainless steel pipe will need to be boxed in / build a wall around it ( 2" clearance )
The holes in around the pipe on the second floor and the hole in the roof will need 2" clearance also all the way around the pipe when you cut it.
On the roof you will need your pipe boot and then on up.
All wood stoves are different and a good rule of thumb is you need at least 16' of total pipe for the stove to draft correct. This is measured from the top of the stove to the top of the pipe and does not include the cap.
I'm putting some pictures up to help you out .
A few pic are the wood stove in my shop , the inside shot does not show a fire stop in the attic ( YET ) because i have no ceiling and insulation.
Another shot of a room ( with the pink looking walls ) of the second floor of the house with the stainless steel pipe running through , this pic was taken before the wall/pipe was boxed in.
Your stove will still have to comply to clearances to the walls and such. Some stove can be 6" to the wall and others are 8", 12" , 18" .
If the wood stove is modern (1980 and up )it should have a plate on the back telling you have far/close you can put the stove to the wall, if no plate or its an older stove then you have to be the code max of 18" from the wall.
The black pipe from your stove to the ceiling:
if single wall pipe then the pipe has to be 18" from the wall.
if double wall pipe then the pipe can be as close as 6" from the wall. ( but the stove would have to let you be 4" also for this to happen )
one pic shows (not my home) an outside install of the wood stove pipe , this is how outside install should be done but i would advise against this kind of install because #1 it does cost more to do and #2 you pipe cools faster and make black garbage collect inside you pipe and you get less draft in your stove and a lot of time you have to add extra pipe to have it draft correctly.
keep me/us posted and ask questions .............
install you stove safe and correctly.
Install your stove correct and do it right the first time , no cutting corners.
Any questions just ask...................& keep us posted.
first set of pic's is my shop stove install.
