I'm all set to perform my DIY cathedral ceiling install of an Englander wood stove with double-wall stove pipe.
We ended up to too many pieces of the chimney pipe (class A, I believe its called).
I have a single fixed length of double-wall stove pipe as well as a large telescoping piece. For simplicity of install, and since we have plenty of class A, I'd like to just use the telescoping length and omit the fixed length. This will require bringing the class A down through the support box about 2.5 ft. to meet the adjustable pipe (with adapter).
Is there anything technically wrong with dropping the class A that far into the house?
My wife seems to think that leaving the class A unpainted as a shiny silver would be "interesting" aesthetically, while I suspect it'll look better painted to match the stovepipe and support box, but we'll see.
First and foremost, is this method allowed.
Secondly, what are your opinions and is my rationale sound?
Thanks.
