STOVE PIPE DIAMETER

[Broncobear]

I have an old wood burning stove that I'd like to disassemble, powdercoat, reassemble, and install.
It has an 8" outlet. I plan to use 8" damper at base, and run 8" stove pipe to about 24" below the ceiling.
I have a 10" insulated thru-ceiling outlet to outside above roof. Double wall to 24" below ceiling. An 8"-10" increaser/adapter will be attached below it. Also, I'm looking for the 3" gold balls that go on the top surface, front corners, please post if available.
Will opening the last section at top 2" larger from 8" to 10" be OK for flow?

Honestly I wouldn't spend the time or money on a Franklin stove like that. They are pretty low quality and extremely inefficient

I been getting about 12 cents a pound for my scrap iron. Just thought I'd mention...

Powder coat? I hope that's a typo. I don't know how hot that stove would run, but it would likely smoke the powder coat.

There are powder coatings that could stand up to the temps but they are very expensive. Largely because the parts then need to be fired at such a high temp.

Most high temp ceramic powder coats are designed to reflect heat. I suppose that's why you see some jacketed stoves with the outer jacket powder coated. Off the shelf powder coats are good to 200-300 degrees. In any event I would guess you would be pushing the cost of a newer stove having it done. I think a set of headers cost $300-400 to ceramic coat. Trouble with that stove is you have maybe $50 in scrap. Add in the cost of powder coating and you have a $1000 stove worth $50 in scrap.

Seems like paint would be the logical choice, or stove blacking. You could add a baffle and air tubes and maybe have s decent stove. I don't know how tight those doors close.

They don't close tight at all there also isn't much room in the top for a baffle and tubes

These things usually leak like a sieve. It's designed more as a fireplace than a stove. There are much better old stoves worth investing time and money in if the goal is to add secondary combustion.

begreen has got a point. and the stove pictured is white meaning it has been continually over fired meaning the metal is very brittle
