hey guys im new here. i got a king last weekend. let me tell you about my setup and if you could let me know my options if you please.
ok now i figured id try the stove with 6" pipe simply cuse i had it already run from my old stove. i simply added a reducer on the stove.
my pipe run consists of a reducer right off the stove. then to a 2 ft section straight up into a adjustable 90* (its got a decent upward rake towards the chimney) after the 90 theres 4ft of straight pipe then another adjustable 90* to about 18" of straight pipe into the brick chimney.
i know they want all 8" double wall but that amoubt of pipe is almost $600 if i swap over to 45* fittings over the 90s. i was thinking of changing over to 8" single wall pipe to see if that helped with the draft or if it improved the stove any. i could prolly lose a couple feet of straight pipe if i redid the total run but prolly not much more than that.
my burn time is about 12 hours on a full load of decent oak set on the #2 setting. the stove top was around 350* or so. im not sure if my crappy pipe is hurting me at all? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you, Mike
