Double wall dhimney at Lowes?

I said it and I still intend on building my own chimney. Last stove store I went to they quoted me almost $9000 to install a stove and chimney (stove incl).

At this point, having never done any work requiring a permit before, I fully intend in doing my own chimney. Monday I'm going to call the township, ask for the building inspector and figure out exactly what I need to make it a DIY. Just a word of caution, my local lowes said I didn't need a permit to use the kit. I'm fairly sure they're wrong, so check with your township first.

The kit is in the ventilation section. You'll see a bunch of pipes which aren't class A, then if you dig around you can find "supervent" stuff. It's usually tucked into a corner. They have one or two of those DIY chimney kits which get you all the trim bits. I need a "ceiling box" and I'm still trying to track down where one is.

Try Home Depot. That's where I purchased my entire Class A chimney for my shop furnace (exterior install). Spent about $750 total. The place I bought my Oslo from quoted me over $1500...just for the parts. I'm all for local business support...but not at more than double the cost of elsewhere.

I'm in New Jersey so things may differ a bit, but what I needed was a "fire protection" permit. This covered the installation of the chimney, furnace, etc... I gave the inspector the manual for the furnace and the chimney pipe along with detailed drawings of how everything was going to be installed. If you check out my Englander 28-3500 install thread over in the Boiler Room you can see how I did mine start to finish. I pretty much went overboard with regard to clearances to combustibles and since my furnace is in the basement its almost completely surrounded by non-combustible materials, so the inspector didn't have too much to look at when it came time for the final inspection. Now I have all of the documentation I need should the unthinkable ever happen. By the way, if you go on Selkirk's website and look up the part number for the ceiling box Lowes can order it for you. That's how I got all of my double wall stove pipe, the thimble, and the wall support. It only took about 5 business days for the parts to come in.

I know Menards is mainly a midwestern store, but I just bought all the 6" class A for my 30 ft. chimney for $1000 including:

9 - 36" pipe sections $65 ea.
1 - 24" pipe $48 ea
1 - 12"
1 - set of 15 degree offsets
1 - stove pipe adapter
1 - cathedral ceiling support
1 - chimney cap
10 - pipe clamps
3 - support bands
2 - single wall elbows
1 - 24" single wall pipe

Do you have Tractor Supply Company nearby? Here's their chimney selection & there's a store locator feature at the top of this page: http://www.tractorsupply.com/home-improvement/heating/heating-pipes-ducts/chimney-pipes/

Awesome tips guys, thanks. I love the link to the boiler room.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but is standard six inch pipe simply not on the site?

You can price the components here. It should be comparable to your area. This is our do-it-best catalog.

hopefully the link works right.

I installed my own stove last year and purchased my stove pipe and chimney pipe from www.ventingpipe.com

The prices were very good (I went with Simpson Duratech stuff) and if you order over a certain amount the shipping was free - not sure if that's still the case, but it was when I ordered everything.
