New Stove: leak smokes

[Kayrand]

Remove all the metal tape. The adhesive is not rated for flue temps. This is not like a pellet stove, it is not necessary. Once you have a proper chimney you will see a very big difference in stove performance.
15 ft outside sounds excessive for this stove. It has no secondary combustion channel to draw air through. I agree with bholler that 7' should be sufficient. Is 15' the minimum necessary to satisfy the 10-3-2 rule?

yeh I will remove the tape once chimney is finished. I stick it there to stop smoke whee when I tried the first fire with my shirt chimney. Haha

For that stove I'd start out with 7 or 8 ft if the 10-3-2 rule is satisfied. It will definitely need a brace off the roof. Two if you go for 11 ft.

 

[bholler]

Okay so I can just go with 11 feet outside , right? Because I think 15 feet is like too tall over the roof and I’m afraid it will shake up with the wind in Montana. We are windy here and cold.

I meant the chimney part. The inside part I have got longer pipes than that picture

 

[MissMac]

And the outside chiminey pipes are all insulated steel pipes. What is the right length for chimney pipe ? I have now all together 3 feet plus 2 feet and 1 feet tee so 6 feet total. Is it enough to rise the hot air up ?

no

 

[Kayrand]

no

I just finished my chimney and feel the hack draft almost gone. I’m tired so I will do dust fire tomorrow

 

[Kayrand]

Did pictures go thru ?

Much better

I’m passing a kidney stone, and typing gets it off my mind. So I’ll leave the simple questions to bholler. lol

Find a quiet spot, get some good drugs and whizz it out.. Quit eating dairy products, they contribute to them.

Yay , it’s running perfectly! It’s awesome! There is no leaks and no smokes coming out and I’m so happy now I have some heat just in time to Montana fierce winter. Love you all thanks a bunch teaching me about draft and importance of chimney length!! It’s like magic!

It's much safer now too. Draft is the engine of the fire. I suggest removing the metal tape now, before it becomes baked on.

Yeh I removed all temp tapes and yes no leaks at all. Perfectly splendid ! Totally awesome!

 

[begreen]

Much better. If you find the fire a little hard to control with a full load of wood, a key damper can be added to the stove pipe to slow it down a bit.

Is that double wall pipe or single wall?

 

[ABMax24]

Is that double wall pipe or single wall?

I’m using the ones duravent double pipe and duravent double stainless for chiminey. Okay I’ll extend it 3 feet up. I ordered 3 ft and 2 feet in case I need it both. I’ll go do it tomorrow and send you guys picture of set up. Extending the chimibey from 6” to 3 feet 6 “ with cap might better the draft

 

[bholler]

Ok the surface thermometer on the double wall pipe won't give you any useful information. You need a probe thermometer
