Double wide, apx 75'x25', current stove that needs to go, scandia 315 wood eating monster, Typical floor plan in home, long and skinny, wall between kitchen area and living room with two openings apx. 8' each,
then down the hall to various rooms.
8" up and out pipe apx 12" to capped top, single wall up to ceiling thimble then double wall stainless up through roof to cap.
The single wall portion is green enameled pipe and says preway so I can only assume that at some point it was used on an old preway freestanding uh...fireplace?
I do not intend to use stove as primary heat source, I don't think it is wise to try that in this home,
So will continue to use for heat after work and on weekends, I doubt the wife will want to mess with stove during week but if we get a safer easier to use stove maybe that will change,( she digs the warmth) But is afraid of this thing which is good for me!
The run is very short maybe 12' from top of stove, the moderns seem to all be 6" pipe so I will run into that problem right out of the gate.
I have nothing against the TV looking burn boxes but I really don't care for them, I prefer cast on legs more eyeball pleasing to me anyway.
Hearth is 4'x5' 3/8" slate raised 6" off floor back wall and hearth finished in 1/2" thick fire proof fake brick ( hmm likely asbestos eh)
You guys seem to know your stuff, so I am asking for stove ideas to replace this one. I don't see that an outside air source is really an option due to the stove being located in the living room and the nearest wall is 12' away. Oh yeah the green preway pipe needs to go, I like it wife hates it,
Any ideas on stoves and or setups greatly appreciated ,
I personally like the Napoleon 1600c or the 1400c then again I don't know much.
Thanks 1sthound
