Hi Y'all, John from Western VA here....
Making the switch from a pellet stove to a wood stove. I have a 20' or so chimney with a rectangular (11" x 7" I think) tile lined chimney with a 6" wall thimble. The thimble will only be about 3 feet above the pipe coming from the top of my new wood stove. I've read that two 45 degree bends are better than a 90, but will having such a a short vertical run be a problem for draft if the run is angled due to a 45 at the stove and one on the thimble? I plan on using selkirk double wall pipe with either a 90 and a 3 foot piece, or 2 45's and a 3 foot piece.
Thanks for help on this and many future Q's
