I have my stove on order and hopefully it wil be gettting here in a week or two.
Now I need to decide upon which brand of chimney to buy, and have found the amount of choices to be confusing. I am going to do the installation myself. The pipe will pass from the stove through the ceiling and then about 8 feet of un occupied attic space and through the roof. My best guess at this point is I will wind up with about 20 feet of chimney.
My old craft stove insert in my ship has a selkirk metalbestos chimney which I installed myself afterI moved to our present location. The craft stove I had originally had installed professionally and before I dismantled it to move, I took a ton of pictures and made notes so I knew how to put it all back together in our new place.
Of course I want a safe installation above all else, but dont want to break the bank. What brand would be most user friendly while still being economical? I would like to use single wall pipe until the point where it approaches the ceiling, but how do you transition between the single wall pipe and the double wall? Or should I just go double the wall the whole way? From the top of the stove it will be right around 7 1/2 feet to the ceiling.
I am also wondering about how other double wall pipes connect- my selkirk has locking bands to make sure the sections never come apart - do othr brands do similar?
thank you for any help or advice
