I have a PE Summit Insert. The manual says it needs a minimum of a 15 foot chimney. Mine is 16 feet. It also has a gentle bend in it to get around the smoke shelf. The stove works great other than when it's really cold out, I get a build up of coals that's a bit tough to burn down. This year my wood isn't as dry as I would like and even though it's not really cold out I'm getting a build up of coals.
I am thinking about adding a 3 foot section of chimney to get a better draft to burn down the coals. Do you think this would help.
Does it have to be triple wall or can I get away with single wall? The three feet will stick above the chimney. I am good about cleaning the chimney. I do it twice a year.
