Hi. New here.....
I recently bought a PE Alderlea to install in my mobile home here in BC, Canada.
Im looking for some DIY tips and information on what I should be looking for, for chimney material.
Northline has a Duravent Mobile Home kit DP-660, but they don't ship to Canada and I can't find it anywhere.
Any suggestions on equivalent kits or piping that I can purchase?
What do i need to meet WETT certification?
I'd like to attempt this myself, if possible.
My installer quoted me over $4000.00 CDN for parts and labor and I'm on a tight budget.

Thanks

Thanks

AllfuelHST - You could check out this product. I see it on Amazon. I can't find it, but there was a post here and a rep made a few comments about the product. Maybe someone else remembers. If you need WETT certification (which I did too for my pellet stove) make sure to find your WETT guy ahead of time and consult him/her. You will need to install per the stove and pipe manuals.
 
One thing to consider is an outdoor air supply for the stove (herein and elsewhere called an OAK, or outside (outdoor) air kit. I believe this is required in mobile homes in Canada and a best practice. Hopefully, others will chime in if I'm mistaken.
 
yes with wood stove in mobile home got to have oak, don't where the quote came from but it's way out of line . must be really high on labor as parts and pieces for flue and oak shouldn't cost more than about $1000 with 1/2 of that for 4 sections of double walled flue pipe.
