Hi,
I'm installing a stove in a building with a 3/12 pitch roof.
The total height of the chimney/flue extended to a point 2 feet above the peak of the roof is 10'-9"
The stove I've chosen is the 50-TLV-17, just ordered it yesterday!
The "required" chimney height is 15'
If I must, I can extend the flue another 5', though it sure will look odd being just under 7' above the roof peak.
The flue will exit the roof very near the peak...
From reading the board here, it seems that one of the keys to getting and keeping a good draft is keeping the gasses in the flue as hot as possible, so with that in mind, will using double wall pipe inside the structure from the stove to the ceiling where it connects to the insulated flue be of great benefit? There is 5.68' from the top of the stove to the ceiling (8'4" ceiling height)
Anything else I can do to make the system work better with the shorter flue?
I plan to try it but before starting the installation, I'm interested in what you guys think?
If I had to, I could relocate the stove to another part of the building, so the extremely tall flue would not be so visible...as it is, the flue is very visible from the street out front.
2' Above the peak is reasonable, 3' maybe, but 7' with straps guy wires, etc just may not get it with regard to overall appearance and keeping the neighbors happy.
