I wonder what the outside looks like... Assuming it is a class-a pipe system out there, how was it "temporarily" attached to the house?
 
I am new to woodburning, and we had our woodstove installed only about a month ago. 6" single wall silver stove pipe was used, but in the past month of use, the shine has changed to a dull gray?? Is that from over firing? I have a temp control on the pipe about 6" above the stove, and it's turned gray for about 3 or 4ft of pipe. Next year we are going to replace this pipe with black double wall pipe so we can move our stove closer to the stone hearth, but I just wanted to know what the deal with it was??
Thanks!
Jennifer

Just a question is this guy a WETT certified Technician ????
 
OK... we bought new stove pipe, chimney pipe and a cathedral ceiling support from Curtis Chimney in Grantsville MD. They sold us Ventis Class A All Fuel system set up and we are going to do the install ourselves. Anyone here willing to answer some questions on what we are running into on this install?
