My old 6302A stove came back to me after decades of absence. Have just about finished it's refinishing - sand blasted the exterior surface rust and reapplied cement on all joints. It's had one firing driveway since using a 5' x 6" galv snaplock shrunk to 5" as chimney. Works just fine and I plan to do another burn next dry day. I'm on the PNW coast so those aren't readily available/predictable features. Plan is to put this in the shop 2.2k ft pole barn with 6" FG ceiling insulation. We only see a few days of frost per year but can go weeks of damp 40-50° with the stove used to knock the edge off the damp mostly.
My question is about the chimney. This stove takes 5" pipe. I'm anticipating needing about 16' total height off stove to make the 2' min @10' clearance. I'd prefer to not go through the roof given our ~80" of precipitation but could be convinced.
There's a comfortable 8' above the stove, but that could be a bit more If I remove a bit of corrugated FG clerestory lite.
My concerns are cost - 5" seems to be a premium price compared to 6" and I'm not seeing 5x6" adapter but may not be looking in the right place(s). If I go side wall exit I'd need to be able to clear gutter which would be ~6" off the (metal) siding.
Is there functional advantage/penalty going 6" from stove to cap? Would that ease the problem of having two 90°'s? Is the placement height of the cleanout tee based on any more than access convenience? Is the double wall black acceptable all the way to the wall/ceiling pass through?
I'm almost wondering if parting with the Lange and going direct-vent pellet wouldn't be a better option. Advice and opinions welcome. Thanks.
