Stove installation tips

I have a stove venting idea for y'all.

Now on the Scale Of Terrible Ideas, this surprising new technique falls greatly below "Vent it directly into the bedroom for maximum heat", well below "Tie it in with the existing dryer vent", and significantly below "Chop a big hole in the roof right above the stove, no pipe required". So there have been worse ideas.

Now that you are in a more forgiving frame of mind, I give you.... whatever this is. Enjoy?

Wow yea that should work well. I wonder how well it drafts. And I wonder if that guy knows the wood that's holding the chimney up is uh flammable

I wish I would have seen this video, before installing my expensive chimney, would've saved me a ton on money. Hope his insurance agent doesn't see this video.

Home made insulated pipe. Looks like a good idea to me.
But he should have the pipe resting on a metal stand not wood.

Wonder what the wife thinks of all this.

Well, she willingly married an idiot so she probably thinks nothing of it.

Pink fiberglass melts at 1300 (much cooler than a chimney fire), and at 600ish it gradually turns into crumbly crud. You shouldn't use it on a flue, no matter what this guy or your "professional" installer tells you.

Those two propane tanks will add to the calamity.

To paraphrase John Wayne... Life's tough. It's tougher if your stupid....

I thought I saw this video a couple years ago. The person got a lot of flack and installed a proper class A chimney the next season. But maybe it was just another hack that got wise and listened better.

HE IS A MORON. LET'S STRING HIM UP!

So y'all say.

The demonic pipe is entirely outside the house. He ran it last year as just single wall black pipe and it worked ok, but gathered a lot of creosote.
So he made up a home made insulated pipe. What is the big deal?
I give the guy and "A" for innovation. If there should be a chimney fire the fiberglass may melt, but, the reason he made the insulated pipe is to reduce creosote, thus dropping the chance of a chimney fire.

The only problem I see with his rig is the wooden support but, even that probably won't catch fire.

Lighten up, boys.
