Patio Stove - Ideas

[Kustrud]

I've enjoyed the stove on the patio but have made some more changes and can hopefully gather some ideas. I removed the casters I welded on as I really want this thing on this wall below the TV. The interior baffles have been removed and the glass from the door has been replaced with a stainless mesh that has holes just the right size to not let any smoke into the patio area. This took some trial and error with different size perforated stainless! So it's essentially an open-door stove and because of this, drafts really well. It's not setup to really give off radiant heat like an indoor stove (which it still does) but more so heat out the front like a fireplace.

My question, because of the open-door setup.....do you think I could run single piece vertical from the stove and then a 90 to a horizontal pipe going to the left and then go straight up and have it dump towards the yard somewhere? Or do you think even with an open door it's going to be tough to draft through a 4 foot horizontal run? I could always just try it....but curious on some thoughts.

This is all just single-wall pipe and yes, everything is 18" away from combustible surfaces.

Open to any ideas I have not thought about as well!

I don't think it could be brought to code, but I'd just go straight up through the roof with huge clearances and hopefully a metal roof.

I cannot go straight up, We have a large deck above the patio with waterproof under decking for the ceiling below. It’d be near impossible to seal it. That’s why I’m trying to get creative going out the side…

There is not much code (or insurance) compliant there. The stove needs to be 36" from the combustible wall. And stove pipe is not a chimney.

We just redid our deck, extended it, and added dry under-decking to have a nice lower patio now as well. I have been DYING to have a wood stove forever and immediately knew I was going to put one down here. After much FB searching, reading, researching, etc. I decided on this guy...

You really are asking for a disaster

Ignore the old thread, I leaned a lot from that about types of pipe, correct clearances, etc. from that here on this forum so thank you!

I can move the stove further away from the wall, it’s about 2 feet right now.

What’s the big deal about running some single wall stove pipe out the side if it’s 18-20 inches away from everything and supported well? How is that asking for a disaster?

It is honestly pointless to discuss it with you

Alright, I’ll bite. You seem adamant and obviously have some history here.

What if I say scratch all this and let’s run it through the wall to Class A. What all do I need to do this and where’s the best place to order it?

I’d prefer all black hardware/pipe on the opposite side of the wall. I can move the TV both up and or to the right. The chimney needs to be on the far left on the exterior.

How would you run it?

Blue line would be exterior chimney pipe. Red line would be single wall on the inside.

I am adamant because you are dead set on completely ignoring every safety standard there is and doing it your own way.
