Question:

Can I use DV gas vent for a wood stove?

Can one of the double-walled (my term) stove pipes that allow air intake and exhaust be connected to a wood burning as opposed to gas wood burning stove?



Answer:

no, they are not rated for the higher temperature that wood produces. There is a double wall interior pipe which is designed for wood, however the outer layer on this is for cooling the pipe, not for bringing in outside air.
