Hi everybody,
I have just recently completed an 18 gauge ( I think) sheet metal stove for my camper/fish house. It is just a box with a heat baffle (the red line). It is 18L x 9W x 15T with a 7 x 7 door. I used 3" pipe because it was already in the camper. The problem is a ton of smoke comes out the door when I open it to add more wood. Is there a formula to determine what size pipe will be best? It would be a bummer to install 4" pipe only to find out I need 5". This is my first wood stove so any suggestions are appreciated.
