Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire wood stove installation question

bought a wood stove, one of those classic looking rectangular models on 4 legs, takes 19" logs.



I'm going to put it in my workshop but space is tight, and I also have attic space so I just can't go straight up thru the roof. I'm going to need to go out a side wall
pricing is all over the place for stove pipe. I can get a 90 degree galvanized bend for $22 or I can spend some serious money.

Anything I need to know before I go with the basics?

Selkirk type, double wall insulated, 6" likely would be big enough for the boxwood stove.

Keep the chimney clean, and good luck!

damn, now I got to build a chimney!

I have one of those in my two story garage. I just run an elbow and cheap steel pipe out the wall. Although my walls are concrete block. I have to replace my pipe about every 3-4 years cause it cheap.


I also like to toss .22 ammo in the fire. I worked my way up to .357 mag. Makes a nice pop.

It's not that hard, or expensive to either buy, or rig up a chimney from tubing.

Do it right, do it to local code,----the first time.

Just keep in mind, you're going to need a thick ceramic thimble going through the wall. I know a guy who set his house on fire even tough he had a ceramic thimble around the pipe.

Ours in NW Ontario.

Most any lumber yard will have all you need.

You need heat that far south?

Seriously. Get a wall thimble and insulated pipe to go through the wall and up. Regular stove pipe is fine inside of the building.

Alright looks like I am going to have to get educated on this

So simple a caveman can do it.

So simple a caveman can do it. You can cook a bit on that stove in a pinch.

Toss in some baking pertaytors



I got my little woodstove for $50 from the wife’s great aunt.

Thanks I will read up tonight

Do not use galvanized pipe. Never.

can run single wall pipe to the wall of the building, then if the wall that you go through is flammable, triple wall pipe through the wall, double wall pipe all the way up on the outside.

That double wall stainless is not cheap. that's what I got on the outside.

I went through this site for directions and all the pipe I needed.

No on the galvanized pipe as it will make hazardous fumes. When penetrating walls or attic roof areas youll need Class-A insulated stainless stove venting. The only other alternative is use block and terra cota type liner with a thimble.

Buy the double wall stainless, try to get as much fall on the horizontal part as you can. The double wall may save your shop from burning up. Sleeve where you penetrate the wall, pack fire proof insulation between sleeve and vent pipe, caulk with fire proof caulking. That’s the proper way to install the vent through a wall.


Does it recommend a size? If you have a horizontal run you should increase one size according to the codes around here, but what the hell do I know.

Hearth.com I have been a member over there for 11 years and those guys know it all. I have had 7 wood stoves over the years, I currently have a $2500 Norwegian stove that cost another $1600 to install. I know a lot about wood stoves but the gearheads on hearth.com know more than I do.
