I'm looking to get a wood burning stove and after digging though here, found several post of people happy with the Englander NC30, and a few confirmed hits that overstock stove actually shipped units, so I feel pretty good getting ready to make my purchase.
Here is where I want to install it in my basement:
I want to put it below the wall outlet, away from the wall itself. If needed, I can move the outlet without issue. There is a concrete slab under the carpet, plan on cutting out a section of carpet putting down tile for the stove to rest on. The ceiling is about 10 foot. I'm thinking of making the hole 3 feet down from the top. Now here is where the issue is... on the other side of the wall is this:
The deck is about 12ft deep. Figure 3 feet down from the top of the brick line for the hole. Now I shouldn't have any problem getting at least 1/2" rise per foot and still have a good gap between the deck and pipe. I could even go 1" rise per foot and still be about 24" away from the deck at the end of it. Once it reaches to the end of the deck, turn up and extend maybe a foot or 2 beyond the rail (5 or 6 foot of vertical) and then cap it. I would remove the vertical part during warm weather so there wouldn't be an odd chimney there at the deck. Would also give me a chance to clean it out every season.
Do I stand any kind of chance of getting a good draft for the stove? Is this a major fire risk in the making?
Thank you for any input you can offer.
