We have been looking to replace our current stove (Century s244). Well I started looking last year and finding it hard to replace it. The little stove has served us very well....just want a longer burn time. Anyway....
I was looking into the 1400. Which I believe we will probably buy....I can't find the mini/max chimney length for it.
Anyone know??
 
The 1400 likes good draft. Figure a minimum of 15-16 ft. Not sure about a maximum, but many stoves need a stove pipe damper as the height approaches 30 ft..

Thank you sir....exactly the info I was looking for.
 
I have the owner's manual here (I have a 1900) if you need to know anything from it. The manual is online, too. My 1900 is on the lower level of my split ranch, and the pipe goes outside, then straight up along the side of the house, though the eave/roof. Definitely at least 15'. It drafts well, unless it has been really cold and I let the pipe cool. Then, if I can feel the cold air in the top of the stove, I need to take care when starting to avoid smoke in the basement. No big deal, I've learned here how to avoid that.
