Hi Team Hearth
I just bought a Woodstock Ideal Steel wood stove. We have a newer house (2005)with a double flue clay lined chimney. The available flue thimble is exactly 13 inches from the exposed ceiling trusses. I obviously did not take that into consideration before I started to plan/purchase my stove. I am away most of the time and do a lot of ordering while I am away (bored). It is not necessarily the best way to improve the old homestead.
I've spent the last two days reading threads and other internet articles and can't really find a fix that works.
From what I read, I have two options. One is to install a 1 inch ventilated space and the other is to use double wall connector pipe. I believe that the double wall connector pipe would be superior, but I want to be able to look at the pipe temp and believe that the double wall would prevent this. If I need to be educated, I make a good student. Just tell me where to study.
On the ventilated space, it would be tight with only 13 inches to play with and I haven't found any diagrams that show how you would create the space with venting on a ceiling. There is plenty of wall ventilated air space diagrams and explanations but a real lack for ceiling diagrams.
.
On the double wall thought, I can only find one company that makes a double wall to masonry adapter. It is the metal best DSP6MA. Can I use it and other double wall components but, somehow transition into a single wall before I get to the stove so that I can still look at my flue temp?
A little more info on the system. The wood stove is in my basement next to my oil boiler. They are parked on a back concrete wall. The wood stove is 16 inches from the boiler, but could be moved or a heat shield added if this is a concern (haven't found anything on this either).
Thanks in advance for any help
