A flame source needs to be 18-24" off the floor if there are flammables present in the shop. An accidental spill or lid left off and the fumes drift to the stove.....KABOOM /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyone eles have a woodburning stove in their shed

Guys,
Be careful with stoves in a garage or shop.
I have been told by insurance folks, so take it with a grain of salt, that a stove in any space in which you can pull a vehicle is no allowed by most local codes.
And if your insurance company finds out your rates may go up dramatically. I was told that my insurance company may decline to insure the place with such a setup.
Or even worse you don't tell them and you have a fire and they use it as an excuse not to pay.
The concern is gas fumes will be ignited by the stove.

If you do a search on "stove pipe".. some of the companies listed will actually have complete kits for woodstoves.. even show you different installations and what you'll need for the perticular application. The regular stove pipe is inexpensive.. but if you look at the stainless steal.. or insullated pipe.. it's expensive.

Daryl -- But when you have 155 acres of hardwood forest, the wood is free. Besides, Tamara and I live on the outskirts of a town that doesn't seem to care for the old ways. So we're doing our part to keep them alive. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
And lastly, if we didn't heat with wood I would never have been able to justify the purchase of a logging winch. And if we didn't have that logging winch, I would never have been able to justify the larger tractor. And where would poor Clementine live without us??? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Does insulated stovepipe like Metalbestos go bad? The reason I'm asking is I need some, and you see it in the classifieds (used) quite often in the warmer months.

Pete:
I wouldn't think triple lined stove pipe would go bad. The outer jacket is hot dip galvanized lined with stainless steel inner pipes between are sandwiched insulation.
The vent for our pellet stove is double wall, galvanized on the outside, an insulation layer and an inner pipe of stainless. I have had the same pip for over 5 years and every year, I take it apart (it twist locks together) and clean it out with an air hose and a chimney brush. It never seems to deteriorate at all, other than the galvanizing isn't shiny any more.

Chico, you need to get exactly the right pieces to run the stove pipe up through the roof, and the pipe near the roof must be multi-wall or insulated. Do not compromise /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif in this area. The best thing to do is get with a store or lumber yard that sells all the hardware. Sealing with your roof is not a big deal if you use all the right pieces. They make special flashing just for this purpose, but you have to have the right pipe, etc. first.

There are two ways of running the stove pipe outside. One is through the roof and the other is through the side wall of the building then up.
The only advantage of the side wall exit is there are no roof penetrations to deal with. However, with the through the roof kits most good insulated stove pipe systems offer there is little chance of leaks. I have installed both.
Just follow the directions and maintain the proper clearances and you will have no problems. The insulated pipe is more expensive than a masonary chimney if you are doing the work yourself. I like the insulated pipe much better than the traditional masonary chimney.
There is less chance of chimney damage if you have a chimney fire, and I think the chance of having a chimney fire is less with the metal chimney.
I even installed a stainless steel liner in the masonary chimney I have because I didn't trust the masonary liner any longer after 27 years of use.

Pete,
Can't speak for metalbstos if used with a wood stove, but on my coal stoves it rotted out after about ten years - I guess the sulphuric acid did it in.
