What is the cheapest stove pipe and installation for wood burning stove?

September 18, 2008 · Filed under Wood Stove Installation


I had woodburning stoves in MD. now live in SC where ice stormes in the past have caused electrical outages from 1-3 weeks. I now have a soapstone stove that manf. says has to be 36" away from wall whereas typically clearance is 18". My main and a big concern is that I have a 6' 200# quad son that would have to be admitted to the hospital if we had an outage over a couple of hours… If I had a wood stove that would provide heat, light and could also cook on stove.
Also, is there anything I can put on the wall so stove can have only 18" clearance? Thanks to all of you for your help.

Cheap is not a good idea.
You need double walled pipe.You also need to pay close attention to clearances so that no pipe is touching your wall.
A DIYer can do this but be sure you understand all the instructions.I

    A hole in the wall and a tube of metal from a scrap yard.

    Seriously not recommended

    I assume you're installing a wood stove to save money on energy costs.
    Keep in mind that sometimes in life, it's not best to go for cheapest – a stovepipe might be one of those times.
    Buy quality materials and make sure they're installed properly for your family's safety.
    Good luck.

    I have found that the lowest priced chimney parts are the ones sold at Menards. Follow instructions, chimney parts are costly for a good reason.
