What is going on here? Or how to remove the gas decorating box?

[vivaunix]

Hello!

I am removing my gas decoration and installing the pellet stove. I choose HP22.

Anyway, I am trying to remove the gas box, and it only holds by the chimney pipe. This is where I stuck. I need help to understand what to do and what to keep. Posting the pictures. Help me understand what this double wall pipe is. Adapter? Safe to remove? How? What would you do?

Thank you!

Take the chimney out from the top

Do you know if there is an adapter for pellet stove in my case?
The outter pipe is 10", the inner is around 8". My pellet stove needs 3".

When I unscrew the chimney, can I raise it to pull the gas box out? Will it fall if I remove the box?

I don't believe you can use any vent pipe for a pellet stove that is not in the manual/instructions.
The pipe that is there is way too big I believe. From the 22i Manual
Pellet Vent Pipe Must be an approved 3" or 4" diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent. Use 4" diameter vent if flue height is over 12 ft. or if installation is over 5,000ft above sea level. (See Equivalent Vent Length chart on Pg. 13)
Connect the pellet vent with a Clean-Out-Tee to the back of the insert. Run a liner down the chimney and connect to the Tee. Position the insert in it's final location. Pull the excess length of the liner out through the top of the chimney. Trim the excess liner, install the cap the chimney

Ok. I was afraid I would need to do something like that.

Another way would be cap the existing pipe and cut the whole in the wall for a new one. Behind the wall is the nature.
I need to figure out what way I want to go.
Thank you!

Keep in mind the unit will need to be connected, then inserted in the opening. Install a pipe for fresh air too.
If you are doing this all yourself, make sure it's done exactly to the manual and nameplate on the unit.

Yes, the fresh intake is an easy job...

What do you mean by "... connected, then inserted in the opening..."?
I have done wood stove installation once, 15 years ago. Was planning to do it myself, now I am thinking to get some Amish's help to insert the liner.

Thread 'Campfire smell'

Mar 19, 2025

New Quadra-Fire CB1200-i (insert) owner. We've had our stove roughly a month. EVERY time it kicks in, roughly 5 minutes after the initial flames start, we get a strong "campfire" smell in the house. It's like a blacken burnt wood smell. Absolutely NO smoke in the house at all... just the strong smell... and it typically dissipates after roughly 20 minutes. I'm a new owner, but it doesn't seem normal to me.

The installers are coming back to finish up some facia work and I will ask them to check it, but I'm wondering what it could be.

I slightly increased the tightness of the door...

The insert is meant to be removed to service the stove and the vent.
I found a recent post that will help you out a bit.

Oh, I will install the hp22, the stand alone version, not the insert.
Thank you!

I would recommend against Amish help with chimney work honestly

So, I mostly need them to climb on the roof and pull the liner through. Cap the top, I do everything else inside. My roof is not very friendly for unexperienced roofers like me.

Looking for FireSafe Flexible Chimney Liner, 4"x25', 316L
Is it a good one?

No you need to remove the chimney and replace it with pellet vent.

 

[vivaunix]

Can I just put the 4" inside the 8"?

No you need to remove the chimney and replace it with pellet vent. And regardless the existing chimney will no longer be supported

 

[vivaunix]

So, back to removing the gas box. Cannot get the chimney/pipe out. Is there a way to disassemble it without cutting?

What is this even? B vent?
Thank you!

It it air cooled low temp chimney for a prefab wood burning fireplace. The sections are snap locked together with tabs inside and out. Start from the top and pry the tabs apart with a flat screwdriver outside first then inside. Work your way down.
