So I have the stove sitting in my barn. It is in good condition. I am building a new 1000s.f. workshop of my dreams. Very well insulated. I have ample dry hardwood firewood available. I was talked out of installing a new efficient BK due to slow burn and questionable good draft. Here's my situation:
I know about the code and insurance issues with the Fisher. Also about no flammables....all that stuff. Let's talk about whether this is otherwise a good shop stove. I can't go straight up through roof which I know is prefered.
This stove has a rear exit 8" flue. I want to reduce it down to 6" as it exits the stove (single wall inside, Class A SS outside). This way I can later plumb in a more modern stove 6"flue stove easily, if I choose. I would come out of the stove and immediately turn a 90 up for about 7 ft. then turn 90 and go through the wall. Put in an outside t w/ cleanout and turn 90 up to miss the gable end eve. I know this stove will easily heat my space. Do you think all the turns will kill my draft? Any other +/-? Thanks
