What have I got ?

Was given a wonderful Fisher wood stove and was trying to ID it . It is a baby bear , side vent , with connectors for what I believe is a hot water system .

Galvanized duct pipe is not appropriate for stove pipe. Read up about zinc fumes. As it goes up, the clearances are not right either. Single wall stove pipe needs to be 18" from any combustible. What is the chimney connection? Also, the stove needs 36" from combustibles. Makes me wonder how many other issues exist here.

Ok then i see a few problems.

Clearance required from that stove is 36" you can reduce that to 12" with a proper ventilated heat sheild which you dont have.

Your pipe needs 18" can go down to 6" properly sheilded.

Your pipe is upside down and shouldnt be galvanized
