I've been reading and it says generally the longer the better, but I'm considering putting a woodstove in the main room of a converted barn home with a 30 foot ceiling. Got any ideas on making it happen and/ or safety?
Now lets say I want to use a stove to heat water in another room with a system like the one second down on this page - http://www.woodheat.org/dhw/dhw.htm - the water cooling combined with a 35' steel insulated chimney....is that really too much temperature reduction? Is that length of steel chimney even practical at all in the first place? I want your input, thanks.
It would go straight up, but I was thinking that a Masonry heater design continued with a steel chimney from above that, could work
