Use 45s or 30s if you can.Getting ready to install. We will need to use an elbow indoors to align the outdoor pipe further away from a higher adjacent roof to keep it 10ft away. If we do the straight shot we’d have to add approx 6-8ft more pipe. I’d prefer the straight shot for cleaning ease but it would be way to high to get at. Is the elbow really an issue when it comes draft? The elbow will be indoors and approx 10 feet above the stove. Indoor ceiling height is 12 feet. Overall chimney height is 18-20 feet. Seems like that’s plenty of length for draft to overcome the one elbow.
Cleaning will be trickier with the elbow. Guess a top down from exterior to elbow and then a bottom up to elbow from inside with flexible brush. How do I clean out the elbow without removing it? Or is a 45 steep enough to let the debris and ash fall down enough? I do t want creosote or anything accumulating in the elbow after cleaning.
Again , I’m probably over thinking it but let me know what comments you guys have on any of that. Thanks.
