Pipe Installation

[Draughts15]

Hello,

Had a recent install a few months ago. Does the pipe look like it was installed correctly? From what I've now gathered looks like the pipe should overlap as you go up through the roof so creosote will drip back down towards the stove. This is 6 inch double wall pipe. Picture attached.

It's probably ok. The double-wall interior liner should be crimp downward, but the outer jacket can look like that. What brand of stovepipe is this?

 

[Draughts15]

The part numbers on my invoice say 6DCC-, which looks like it's a Selkirk parts number. I just looked at the stamp on the back of the pipe yesterday so ill have to double check when I get home.

Yes, 6DCC sounds like Selkirk's new double-wall stovepipe.

I'll take a look. Kind of funny, I originally bought a Super 27 from an older gal who suffered from arthritis and couldn't do the wood burning anymore. It was barely used and had an install date for it from one of the local retailers in my area. Last second decided to go with a new red unit, thought it would fit the space a little better rather than a flat black stove. The stove in person actually looks a dark maroon. We thought they brought the wrong colored stove and liked it better. In the pictures it shows up as a bright red.

You do end up with the jog in the pipe to fit between the rafters and create the required stove clearance. Did the stove installer tell you that it was going to be done that way? You could have had a straight chimney. Easier cleaning and I think a cleaner look.

Roospike was one of the original members of Hearth.com back in 2005. He had one of the first Summits here many years back. It got the affectionate term of whorehouse red coined by BrotherBart. I think most of us were a bit envious of his classy stove and eventually inspired to get one and try it out.

BB has a new stove

Burn times

One of the big questions in peoples minds when they're purchasing a wood stove is the REAL burn times. O.k. so here's the mine...Osburn 1800 - about 6 hours on a full load on low... 3 hours on a full load on high.

The installer told me the rafter/joist was in the way and couldn't do it straight up. I agree, I'd rather have it straight.

Our stove replaced the Castine which had determined the ceiling box location. The T6's flue outlet is more forward so I had to put in an offset also. We tried it both ways and decided it was less aparent, low at the stove. Draft has not been an issue with the 20' flue system and an easy breathing stove.
