I am going to be moving and one of the first things I want to do is install a wood stove in the new house. I most likely will go with the Englander NC30. I currently have a Quad 4100i Insert. So I will sell that to off-set the cost of the stove and chimney. My question is where is the best place to get a good deal on triple wall chimney piping? I am going to keep an eye out on CL but if I don't get lucky over the next month, where should I look? Thanks a lot.
 
Look for class A double-wall high temp pipe too.
 
What is the difference between double and triple wall? Are there significant advantages of triple wall over double wall?
 
It's probably the other way around, class A double is the better product
 
Double wall requires a higher grade of insulation to achieve its HT-103 rating. Triple wall achieves this by an outer air gap. This makes the triple wall pipe bulkier (adds 2" to the diameter) and the air gap can be a nesting location for hornets and wasps.
 
So both will work for a through the wall chimney?
 
Correct, with the corresponding thimble kit and exterior flashing, etc.
 
Some good 6" double-wall class A pipe is Excel, DuraTech and Selkirk UltraTemp.
 
For sure, begreen is right on with this one.
