OK,
I braved a trip up the ladder and installed my new stove pipe. I ran a test two nights ago to see how well this worked. I shut the stove off with a flame still going and it burned for about 5 minutes well and then died out and then the smoke started. I had some coming out of the top of my door gasket (as far as I can tell this was the only place). Is this were one would expect it to back into the house or would it come back out the pellet hopper?
I am wondering if now I need a new door gasket again. I would think that I should not be getting any kind of smoke escape from the stove with that addtional almost 6ft of rise with the pipes.
I sure hope this keeps the strong wind problems at bay this winter. This was a small fortune in pipe!
Here is a before shot:
Here is the "redesign"
