Ok, in the Englander stove manual it says that when you run the flue straight through the wall of the house you still need a rise of three feet.
The manual says:
"Once outside the structure, a three-inch (3”) clearance should be maintained to the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on the pipe that extends through the wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3’) of vertical pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point, a one-foot (1’) section and horizontal cap will complete the installation."
What is the purpose of this rise? Is it for snow drift clearance? Or is it for more draft so the stove will run with better flame control?
I stuck my Englander stove at the boyfriends house (a mobile home in very poor condition) and ran the flue straight through the wall- just 2 feet of straight pipe with the horizontal cap on it. I think the stove is operating Ok, but I want to check it to be sure that the flame really gets higher on higher settings. I mean that it has SOME flame control. I wonder if his flame is lower in general than when I used the stove? Also, this mobile has at least 2 feet of concrete foundation.
When I had the the stove at my cottage, I had probably 5 feet of vertical pipe. I swear that stove was a flame-thrower. I mean low setting was a high flame and high flame was a higher flame. It cooked me out. (I took my P38 there now).
