Hello all,
I have vented my Harman into the 8" metal chimney our wood stove used for the last few years.
This winter some snow/ice came off roof and pulled the top 4-5 ft of the chimney over
So my current venting consists of "
3" pellet vent...
90 at stove
3ft Vert
90 at thimble
into
8" insulated metal
2ft horizontal thru wall
90 outside house
15 ft vertical - terminates 8" above roof line
I have had several chimney guys look at putting the top of the chimney back on and they all say they the old top pipe is bent and unusable, and they can't get any new pipe that would seal up the the old bottom pipe. So they want to replace the whole thing to the tune of $1800 or so.
I know I could switch to just a straight out pellet vent for less, but I would want to run pellet vent as high as the old chimney, then I'm thinking I am back in the $1500 +- range.
This is all a long back story to ask the question of:
Can I put 5 ft of pellet vent (with adapter) on top of the 8" chimney to get it back to original height?
If so would 3" cut it or would I need 4" or 6"
Thanks in advance!
