Need help with quick install of wood stove

I live in the modern world. I have natural gas so when things get chilly I just turn up the thermostat. For my back up I have a second panel on my house that I can connect my generator to. My generator can only run half the house. I have two furnaces so one furnace will run as long as I have gas to run the generator. In case of long term heating without natural gas I am very unprepared-no large quantity gas storage. I do not have a fire place or wood stove. I grew up with wood so I am very familiar with the whole wood process.

The idea of having the things I need and knowledge to set up a wood stove just in case has been rattling around in my brain. I have looked at our home- open spaces on the walls, the surrounding trees, roof lines and tried to figure where would be the best spot to install a wood stove.

Things I know and brainstorming/thoughts/ideas:

No chimney so I would need stove pipe. Pipe would need to be above the roof line to smoke could flow/disperse. Would need to cut through wall to run pipe through. Secure pipe materials.

Always need to remember to protect from heat. All materials approved from wood stove use. Protecting the hole through- fire safety!

Would need floor protection- we had brick inlay at home. I have also seen black metal material that people place their wood stoves on.

Protect wall behind the stove. Clearance from wall, I have seen metal on the wall, also a board/stone type protector.

Pages I have been looking at but unsure if lacking or over kill-

Double wall smoke pipe?? I do not think that was in the pictures I attached. I don't have terminology down but can get the concept. Can you define a bit more. Thanks!

Do you already have the hole cut and sealed? Ready for use. I think it would be a good idea to just have the hardest part ready to go. I do not know if it would ad value to my home or not. I think having the second panel for the generator is a plus but having wood stove prep of hole in the wall if that is sensible.

 

The best, safest, most expensive pipe is triple wall (roughly $300.00 per piece about 2' long. I have a few pieces I bartered for for my wood burner. The piece to pass through the wall or ceiling has an adjustable flange to mount to the angle needed for a vertical or horizonal mounting.
Check your local laws, but here, the rule is the top of the stack must be 3' above and 10' away from the nearest burnable surface. (This is so hot sparks do not set your roof on fire.)

 

I don't know where the $300 for a 2 foot section of triple wall came from, but I fear you were taken for a ride. I got mine for a lot less, and it still is only 85 for a 6"x36" section at Home Depot. Duravent is the brand, and it has done quite well for the past 5 years since I put it in.

An item to have in reserve though, is the single wall pipe from the stove to the thimble, as this will deteriorate due to the high heat it experiences.

For a better draft, go straight up from your stove if possible.

ETA: Duravent makes the Duraplus line BTPost mentioned above.

 

It has been a couple of years since I priced it )it seems the price may have dropped a bit, but I'm still seeing 175-200, each. I need only an elbow or T to install mine.

 

Wow, kell...that still seems excessive. Please tell me it is at least stainless steel.

 

Stainless, triplewall T with one cap for clesnout.

 

y not make a frame to go in the window with everything you need cut out ...
just like putting a window AC unit but make it a penitration for the pipe ... OR am i talking out of my As#???
any reasons it wouldnt work?

 

So much for a quick install. Seems the project is anything but quick . . . kind of like, "how to change timing belt in a jiff."

Good luck.

 

Lots of good advise.. I have lived with wood as my only heat source for 15 years and it was here for about 20 years before I came along.. My set up is a Lopi stove set on a sheet metal pan on my wood floor.. The stove is brick lined and radiates heat after the fire burns down.. (nice feature) Pipe is a six inch single walled to the second floor , eight inch double walled pipe on out through the roof.. I will be going up to do my yearly cleaning and will do some pic's of the pipe.. I don't go up there unless someone else is around in case my clumbsey butt tumbles off the roof..
