Stove Pipe Guidance for 1st timer

[eheinkel]

Hi everyone! I am building a lake house in Northern Wisconsin and am currently looking at different stove and stove pipe options. This will not be the primary heat source, so I am not worried about sizing btus etc. I am leaning towards the Intrepid by Vermont Castings or something similar size in cast made in the US. Some feedback on that would be great, but what I am really struggling with is the vent type. I need about 22' of stove pipe to get from the top of the stove to the already installed DuraVent chimney box (see pic). It will be a straight shot, no bends. I have no issues with clearance. From what I have ready and been told by the local sales folks is the main use for DV is to reduce clearance requirements. Second reason is related to "draft" which I do not understand. I like the idea of the lower cost single wall with the ability to radiate the heat all the way up to the vaulted ceiling (the vent pipe will be exposed the entire length), but I do not want to worry about keeping a fire lit or any other issues you guys can point out by going single wall.

Thanks in advance.

With a 22' run you definitely want double wall or you will run into problems with the flue cooling off too much and creating excessive creosote. You want to heat with the stove, not the pipe.

There are better options than VC. Look at the Pacific Energy T5 (they come bigger T6 and smaller T4).

You want double wall and probably a damper

Double-wall should be used here. It will keep the flue gases hotter which in turn will reduce creosote accumulation. It also improves draft but that doesn't look like it will be an issue. The Jotul F35 is made in Maine. It will take a longer log loaded N/S and is a lower maintenance stove. It has a cast iron jacket, but is a steel stove at heart. There is also the Lopi Rockport, made in WA state.

Thank you for the quick feedback! Looks like double-wall is the consensus for stove pipe, thank you for the explanations. My wife and I are currently looking into some of the other stove options mentioned. I had no idea there was more to them than just steel/iron boxes that look slightly different from each other lol.

Quick follow up for the experts.... I'm spec'ing out the stove pipe SKUs and am curious if I should build the stack from the stove up, or from the box down? Where should the telescoping piece reside (looks like DV makes a 29-46" and a 40-68" telescoping or a 6" and 12" adjustable piece)? It would seem to be a "cleaner" look to have the full 48" pieces on the bottom, but looking for feedback. Thanks!
