Chimney question

[SomeSayImHandsome]

I understand that i just thought i would let you know

since i am a wood stove noob. i have a 400 sq kitchen concrete slab with tile. then next to it a family room still a slab. the stair way to my up stairs is in the kitchen would you recommend putting the stove in the kitchen or in the room next to it? which is about 275 sq. and thats next to a garage. how toasty would it get in the kitchen without being uncomfortable? or would it be ok..

looking for some opinions on this

I think i would probably go with the other room not the kitchen myself. But without seeing it it is hard to say

the pipe will come up about 1ft away from the ridge.

What's the pitch?

i can post some pictures later. but then comes the issue with venting i would actually have to go through wall into garage. then through wall again to the outside on the side of the house. is that even possible or up to code?

i would assume standard maybe 26?

Would it be possible to go straight up in either location? It would be cheaper more direct and would keep the temps up better.

i cant because of the up stairs there are no locations for the piping unless i want it running through one of my bedrooms lol

Our chimney goes up through a chase in a bedroom closet. The chimney can also be chased (boxed in) in the room interior.

The pitch is determined by the rise over the run where the run would be 12".
26 makes no sense unless you mean it is 2/6 which would be the same as a 4/12.
I kinda doubt this, tho, since most building codes don't allow less than a 5/12 for
heated residences in the Northeast, because of snowload.
Then again, you don't indicate where you're from, so I can't be sure of that.

ok i am going to post some pics of the best possible locations to put the stove. as i am going through wall. i wanted to put the stove originally here but i am not sure if its going to get to hot in the kitchen area so the first location is the first picture i m going to post its going be in place of the old kerosene monitor i have

if i didnt put it there i was going to put it in the family room next to the kitchen with the exercise equipment out of course. but i would have to go through wall into garage. then again through wall to outside which doesnt seem ideal but it might be a better place for the stove i am really torn on the placement of the stove at this point. i live in the Poconos of PA so it gets pretty cold here

Running the pipe from the family room, across the garage and then up would not work. Horizontal runs need to be kept as short as possible.

I have a standard cape style house. My kitchen/dining room/living room is all open and about 500-600 square feet total. My stove is in the back corner of the dining room and with it really cranking that area will be around 72-74 degrees which is more than warm enough for me. The upstairs gets plenty warm as well, I usually leave my bedroom door only open around 6 inches to keep it cooler.

my down stairs is almost 1000 combined although i am not counting the garage bc i am not keeping that open. then my upstairs is probably almost the same. so i am hoping this thing will keep the whole house warm

You should have no problem. My total first floor is around 1000 and the second floor is around 600 and my stove is more than enough. Your stove is a third bigger than what I'm using as well.

awesome. its just too bad the piping cost me more than the stove lol

I paid around $1200 for my stove I think and around $2500 for my exterior Olympia metal chimney...

that's insane to me. i don't think we should be murdered on chimney pipe

Not really. The chimney is infrastructure. It must be safe and properly functional. The stove is arbitrary with a wide range of choices depending on the installation requirements and budget. This is somewhat like a roof being essential and what you put under it being of much less importance.

FWIW, going straight up with a chimney is often less expensive.

no one is downgrading the idea of the chimney being of importance but if you don't think spending thousands on round metal isnt high way robbery than that's on you. i went out and bought the proper through wall piping and will do a job that exceeds code. but i didn't like the idea of companies taking advantage of people because they know the piping is essential .

Cost depends on the installation requirements and the quality of pipe chosen. Olympia and Excel are premium stove pipe. The same job in Selkirk's value line from Menards would be a lot less. A basic single story install could be as little as $700 in pipe and fittings. It's unclear whether ChimneySmoke's installation included labor or not.

well i went with the stainless steel triple wall 6" pipe again i know some recommended some other better quality piping. like some of the double wall black pipe. but with the through wall kit and over 20ft of ss piping it cost me about 750. not including the inside stove pipe yet

I think the parts were right around $2000 and I paid $500 for chimney installation and moving my stove up from the basement. Through the wall definitely adds more, I think just my T was around $400.

Sounds like you have invested in a first class chimney system. It should be good for decades.
