I'm considering attempting to run an 8" stove on a 6" chimney. No need for the lecture since I know it's not the best idea. I have a 30' chimney with a great draft and figure it's worth a shot before installing an 8" chimney.
Currently I have 6" double wall stove pipe from Simpson. I looked at their catalog and don't see a reducer from 8" to 6". I see Selkirk offers an 8" to 6" reducer for double wall.
I assume it can't be done by looking at the catalogs/construction of the pipes but has anyone mixed and matched the Selkirk and Simpson double wall pipes? Or does Simpson offer a reducer that I'm not seeing in their catalog?
I'd hate to buy all new Selkirk pipe but if I have to I'll do it. That way when the 6" chimney doesn't work I'll have all the 8" pipe purchased already. :lol:
