At a club I belong to we have a 6” uninsulated stainless stove pipe extending well above the roof line of the work shop.
We replaced a burned out barrel stove with an old, solid Gold Marc stove with an 8” outlet. With opening the two doors to load it smokes badly. Obviously, this is a less than ideal situation with an oversized stove and an inadequate sized flue.
My question is this….
Is there any chance that instead of reducing the stovepipe directly from stove and instead installing a couple lengths of 8” and then reducing would improve draft ?
I guess the alternative would be an 8” flue or different wood stove.
Thanks for any input.
