I "edited in" a pic of the parlor stove that's getting installed with the kitchen range. These units need flues. You can see where the kitchen range has a boss at the rear of the top. The parlor stove has a boss in the rear. I'm sure back in the 1880's these stoves were vented with single wall pipe. I already had them brought up to modern safety standards and switched over to LP. But I'm wondering if anybody has any opinions as to venting them in this century?

They probably draw combustion air from the room they are in? That would make them similar to a B-Vent fireplace, so b-vent might not be a bad option.
Unless they were originally designed to use wood for fuel? In which case I would vent with class A pipe and double wall black pipe.

Hey Howie !
Very nice stoves indeed . I'm down here in the Brunswick area of Maine & have been kicking around the idea of an antique parlor stove that burns LP to heat with .Idealy , I'd like it to be able to be controlled with a wall thermostat . Can you give me some info on your set up ?
Thanks ,
Bob
