Do they make an exhaust cap for a pellet stove with damper/flap on the end?

[iceman]

I am looking for a end cap that has a flap/or damper kinda like a dryer vent or a downdraft vent has anyone heard of this?? My piep gets freezing when i don't use my stove and at times i get condensation on my wall thimble... however i am going through my foundation plus the brick on the outside of the house could that have anything to do with it?

can you go up vertical with some pipe?
This is the preferd way

it does i just dont want all of the cold air feeding back in to the stove which then makes it a icebox when not in use as well as condensation
around the inside wall thimble

there is not a flapper cap avalible from any of the pellet pipe manufactures that i know of. It would put backpressure on the combustion blower and cause problems in the long run, doing what hearthtools is suggesting is that going verticle will create some chimney effect, which would suck air out of the stove when not in use, instead of letting cold air in.

ok thanks for the info its weird though, mine goes up 2 feet in the house then out its a real short run

you need at least 5' to creat positive draft out the stack.

Or you have a very negative pressure home, and its using the stove as a vent, in which case, the verticle wont help.

Min of 5 feet up after you go out the wall.

This will help keep smoke from backing into the home WHEN the power goes out.
and the stove will draft better.

Every install is unique. If your house is super tight then it could be using the stove for make up air for the house, in which case no resonable amount of pipe on a pellet stove will solve. You might have to install a outside air kit to fix that problem. If your sure thats not the problem, the solution that hearthtools suggests should work.
