Installation Question

[fdegree]

I am planning to order a Blaze King - King model next week. I am having another company do the installation because I feel very comfortable with them...unfortunately they don't carry Blaze King so I have to order the stove from someone else.

The installation company only carries air cooled black pipe to the ceiling and from there up it goes to insulated double wall pipe. I will have about 8' of pipe sticking out above the roof, and I live in an open field with lots of wind.

Here is my question:
Will that kind of pipe installation be sufficient to keep the stack temperature up and limit the chances of creosote build-up? I was considering insulated triple wall pipe, but perhaps that is overkill.

Any thoughts?


Thanks

You should be fine. If anything you'll need to build a chase around it, but that would be the case with either type (air cooled or dense packed).

solid pack doublewall is probably better insulated than triple wall, but its heavier
+1 on the chaise idea, makes cleaning easier too

It sounds like they are doing the right kind of install. With a short,straight run like that I wouldnt worry too much about creosote, especially with that stove. Like it was said before, if you did have an issue, an insulated chase would work to help a lot.
