We have a 7×9 floor plan which works but we want to find an alternative that means the flue from the stove can come up through the middle of the house. Here’s one I came up with this morning. Exact dimensions need some work but this is the general idea.
All the pics were drawn on the iPad using Keyplan Lite.
Stove pipe is used for venting wood-burning stoves and is used inside the room where the stove is installed.
As soon as that pipe goes through a ceiling (upstairs floor) it must be converted to a Class A chimney pipe.
If stove pipe is used outside, it will not be able to maintain sufficient temperature to prevent creosote build up so the risk of a chimney fire is increased.
Class A chimney pipe requires 2 inches of clearance to combustibles.
Fire -> stove pipe -> ceiling support box/ round ceiling support piece -> Class A
This link leads to an article on how much power the stove needs.
Based on the above article I’ll calculate what size we need. We’ve been told we’ll need 10kW for a 120sq meter house so I’ll be interested to see what this article thinks we need.
From the calculation about 10kW will do the job.
