So I went to Lowes
online and I find listed exactly as you have it in your
thread Double wall telescopic pipe adjustable 38'' - 68'' Item # 35015 , model #
DSP6TL - the picture is not definitive, We both
should check for availability at our Home Stores and go see it !
Damned ! For that price it should be a double wall insulating adjustable stove pipe !
There is one issue here with the description as written (probably by a Lowes employee who never saw the pipe) Generally there are two types of 'finish'
on a high temperature stove pipe, Galvanized, and Black! Not black paint over galvanized, in this case, the manufacturers description is key !
When new Galvanized stove pipe is heated -there is a mechanical change in the way the galvanized coating (to retard rust inside and out!) adheres to the
steel pipe, during that change the pipe goes from silvery shiny to dull grey, While this change occurs some of the zinc coating is vaporized and this worries
some people I 'Temper' my stove pipe out of doors first to create this change as after you hit the dull grey state the mechanical bond is then finished
changing.
There is also a heavy wall black stovepipe that stands up to high exhaust gas temps very well, What a black
painted Stovepipe is I can not even guess!
Yes you can use single wall pipe up to your ceiling and change there to get through the roof line. How you are going to attach the single wall onto your
Double wall pipe simple, use a short length of stove pipe say 8'' high use 4 screws to assist the matting,and then go up to at least the peak of the roof !
The stovepipe Should be located on the lee or down wind side of the house . Tat is the heating seasons winds should hit your house and then pass over
the peak of the roof to reach your stove pipe. Also as part of your ultimate plans plan on spending the money to go 4-5 feet above the peak of your roof,
you
'may' only need to go to the peak but budget the money for the higher point. Also using heavier ''Ts' with caps instead of adjustable elbows is
both a safety factor and an aid in cleaning your
wood burner !
This description of how to vent your heater with stove pipe may not find favor with a Code Enforcement Officer, your homeowners insurance, or a landlords
protective eyes ! Good luck Big AL
