I've got a question please and what a better place to ask it
I'm putting a wood stove in my shed and need to run the 6" single wall pipe out the top of the back wall. The stove is 3' tall and the height of the wall is 8'. In order to keep the incline of the pipe closer to 135degrees rather than a 90 I need to run the pipe just a few inches away from the ceiling of the inside of the shed where it exits. I saw someplace where 8" clearance is recommended between double wall pipe and combustable ceiling. Would I be able to build my own pipe by taking my single wall 6"(insulating the outside of it) and putting it inside a section of 8" ID insulated double wall pipe and maybe put some tin on the plywood ceiling(or possibly replace that plywood part of the ceiling with something non-combustable(such as?).
Not worried about codes or regulations as my shed has'nt followed any rules at this point of time thus far.
Any info greatly appreciated on how to do a backyard fix for my dilemma. -bow smiley- Thanks.
