So, I know nobody here wants to be the one that gave the advise that burnt down my shop, but, I have an old Dudley. I think it was made by Washington.
I grew up with an insert in the house vented into a brick chimney. I spent many frozen nights hunting in the mountains sleeping cosily on the floor in a shack that has an old stove setting on four bricks on a carpeted floor. The single wall pipe poked through a 16x16 piece of tin nailed to the studs at the eve of the roof then extended upwards. Many nights of coon hunting were actually spent sitting next to a wood burner in central nc eating roasted peanuts off the cast iron pan on top the stove, telling lies while the dogs shivered in the box.
So the stove was Great Grandpa's. I want to put it in my shop. It's a 12x16 Dutch Barn with a work bench and my axes and mauls I keep for processing wood for the smoker. I keep a supply of cured wood around.
I would like to burn it as a novelty once in a while or as a warm room when the ice storm hits for a couple days and leaves us in the dark. The point of the above stories is, is this stove safe with the appropriate pipe. What is the appropriate pipe? I can go straight up or out the wall. I think I like straight up. Will the stove pipe go right in the vent or is there an adapter?
Yeah, I want out as cheap as possible for something that might get lit a few times a year, but I want to feel good about it too.
