I may be looking at a chimney that is as high as 35ft worse case. Based on some of the stuff I have searched/read, it sounds like if I have a 6" dia chimney, the thing is likely to draft like crazy - unless I put-in a stove pipe damper, which I don't really want to do.
I also have read that some of the stoves that open to the front and have a screen for a open fireplace type option can have an 8 inch stove pipe.
I gather that the taller the chimney, the stronger the draft and the larger the diameter chimney, the slower the draft, hence the 8 inch stove pipe on the front/screened type stoves to keep them from burning out of control due to strong draft.
So if one builds a really tall chimney, what diameter should you consider? Are there rules of thumb with regard to chimney draft vs diameter vs height?
Thanks!
