I just measured - from the bottom of the basement window to the top of the roof is 24'.  Plus about 3 feet above the roof, plus there are 2 items within 10 feet that are 2 feet high, so I'm figuring I have to go 4-5 feet above the roof, depending on what the code guy says.  So roughly 30 feet.

I thought the height would make up for draft reducers!  I hear you about less angle the better thanks.

I don't have a wall on the one side of my basement stairwell, and don't want to do construction as I may move sometime in the near future.  I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, other than it will be difficult to get the draft started.  I was thinking if I opened the back door to the outside, and let cold air run down the basement steps while lighting the stove that would help.  And maybe with some lit rolled paper held up in the top of the stove at the exhaust....that's what I've done before for fireplaces and wood stoves.

I'm considering Duravent triple walled galvanized chimney pipe and the Duravent thru the wall kit.

For the inside, I was considering using double or triple walled pipe to keep it cool because I don't want anything hot with that low basement ceiling.  

I'm not sure I understood everything you said so if I've got something wrong please clarify.

Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas!

I don't want to do any significant construction here since I may move in the near future.  So I'm willing to lose efficiency and be able to tear it all out and take it with me.  I'm looking to add a little heat to the house with free wood that I always gather, cut and split myself.  I don't need to heat the whole house or at all.  This is just extra and backup.

OK well if I send it through the house I guess another benefit would be keeping that heat inside right?  And it would be right in the cold corner of my living room and bedroom.

How much work would that be and what type of pipe?  Single wall for inside?  Or do I need to build a masonry chimney inside?

Thanks

Thanks!  I can't go straight up because its going to be in the basement and I would have to go thru the 1st and 2nd floor and roof...too much work.  And I may move from here in 10 years or less so I don't want to do anything so permanent.  

I think the double walled Metalbestos sounds like the best option.

Do you have any ideas about the angle to get around that window?  Would that be an issue with draft or anything?

Hi all!

I am starting to plan a wood stove.  I am looking at this model:
https://morsoe.com/us/product/indoor/wood-burning-stove/p2bclassic_us

It will be perfect to supplement my small home heat.

First thing in my plan is to plan out the clearances and chimney piping.  

See pics below.

I am thinking of removing this window, and routing the stove pipe out the right side of the window opening, then filling in the left side with glass block.

I would move all the stuff below the window so that should give me lots of space for clearance.

I am just wondering about any suggestions and what I should be thinking about before I do it.

Specifically, the routing of the stove pipe inside the house and outside, so that I am safe and pass codes.

On the outside, I think I would have to go on an angle, maybe 45 degrees for a short way, in order to get around the 1st floor window which is above the basement window.

Would that be OK for the airflow?  And with codes?  And how far up the house do I need the chimney to go?  How do I find the codes?

Thanks!
