Hi
I purchased a used Harman P68 in April and hadn't really done much until now to get it installed. My tile just came in for my hearth that has held me up 3 weeks. So I will be working on the hearth soon I'll need to make it about 7 " tall to clear a baseboard hotwater radiator.
My question is can I use the vent pipe that I picked up with the stove? It is 4" Selkirk pipe and thimble. The increaser 3" to 4" is a bit banged up from removal mainly on the inner pipe so no doubt I think at a min I would need to replace the increaser. It's a short run out the wall from stove to outside wall maybe 16" so 4" is not needed but that is what I currently have.
Next question do I need to run the pipe vertically once outside for draft? Or can it just be a straight run out of the stove to outside with proper clearance? I also plan to install a OAK and this adds some questions, like do I just scrap what I have and do a all in one thimblw with OAK. I'd like to keep cost to a min if possible but on the other hand I want to make sure I have the proper set up.
I may have missed some info so if someone would be kind of enough to summer school me I will get any info that I missed.
Just stacked 4 tons of Stove Chow yesterday so I'll include a pic of that too since I've spent 7 months lurking and knowing pictures are requested. (Signed up in April and made a few posts, recently in pellet pricing trying to help out)
Thanks
Joe
