I ordered a Englander NC-30 from home depot and am expecting delivery this week (thanks hearth forums for alerting me to the $650 deal). The corner of the basement was already set up for a wood stove with a 8 inch double walled external chimney that goes horizonally through the poured foundation and then up approx 30 feet. I bought the sooteater and will run it through before starting the first fire. There is already a professional looking brick hearth and steel plates that extend each direction about 60 inches from the corner.
I'm going to install the stove myself and need to purchase the black stove pipe. The centerline of the 8 inch crimped chimney pipe is 58.5 inches from the floor. The englander NC-30 flue exit will be 28.25 from the floor. So black stove pipe will need to be approx 30.25 inches in height including the 90 degree bend. Then I need to go horizonally around 18 inches to the chimney (8 inch crimped).
So I need to know what type of connection does the top of the NC-30 have? I know it is 6 inch something. male or female?
Where do you recommend going locally(home depot?) or online to buy stove pipe?
Any luck with the slip stove pipe to adjust for length?
Do you guys use high temp silicone at the joints or something similar?
The back corners of the stove will be around 6 inches to the bricks. I've seen lots of information on safe combustible distances, is there anything to worry about with non-combustibles being close?
Thanks
Troy
