I recently purchased a us stove 6039 used from a Facebook garage sale site. I'm in the process of going through it and double checking all working components. The question I have is my house has a Chimney already there, it's 6" coming through the wall. Will I be able to reduce that down and hook up to the stove or is there some modification that I'm looking at doing. Previous owner said there was a pellet stove already there with no problems. Tsc associate said I would need to put install new Chimney pipe. Looking for experienced feedback.
 
The short answer YES it will work
My pellet stove pipe is connected to a class A
6 in chimney Just need the proper reducer
Some people will say it should not be done
But I have had no problems using it for the
last 15 years !
 
What does your owners manual say?? Some might want a full liner to run up through the 6 inch chimney, but most will just say feed it into the chimney, it will work ok.
