I got a new Fisher wood stove for my garage. For free. I have wanted a heat stove for a long time, and this is the type I wanted. I got to thinking what it would take to vent the thing and it is proving quite expensive for double walled pipe and all the accoutrements.
I have another idea. I am a hobby blacksmith and am pretty adept at fireproofing.
I was planning on using 8" standard pipe from the stove and for the chimney utilizing a T with damper at the chimney base for ash dumping/cleaning. Through the wall with 8" inch tube wrapped with 1" high temp Kaowool (which I have), and then wrapped with 10" standard pipe.
Seems to me most of these double wall retail units are basically the same thing. The fireproofing is sound. My concern, living in a subdivision is that I am not "up to code". Any pro's or con's to this plan?
