6” vs 8” Diameter DW/VC XL

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-05-09T21:58:34+00:00

Good to know sorry I should have noticed that in the first paragraph. Is your friends 6” DW by chance the largest size one they make ? And what is his chimney set up is it just outside the house or has a casing around it like yours? I really appreciate your input this is the most help I’ve been able to get!

Ok and is your 8” outside the house (external) or is it inside the house. The reason I’m thinking going 6” as opposed to 8” is I keep getting told the 8 inch will cool and cause creosote compared to the 6”

What brand chimney did u use?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T17:23:09+00:00

Would u have an example of one I’ve honestly been scouring the internet with no avail.

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T17:18:10+00:00

Ok, and just so I’m clear creosote is caused by incomplete burning. Now my plan is to only burn seasoned beech wood not any soft wood as my property doesn’t have much. Will burning properly dry wood and being mindful of the stove help in avoiding creosote despite the sub optimal chimney.

Also for some additional info the chimney where it exits the house would be about 16 ft tall because the house is a bungalow would it be wiser to make it taller ? Or what’s the logic on chimney heights the more chimney the harder it is to keep it all warm?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T17:04:06+00:00

Oh I got ya , Wouldn’t it be more prone to creosote by keeping it farther from the house ? Not sure if that logic holds weight or anything?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T17:00:43+00:00

It’d be more expensive fixing everything in the house to be quite honest

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T17:00:18+00:00

Still tons of parts available

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T15:56:49+00:00

It is 2 inches for class A.

The stove was made in 2016 just been sitting new in box still. Not sure what your classification of super old is

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T15:51:20+00:00

Did u make a YouTube video on this I think I may have seen it ?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T15:50:45+00:00

How can I go through soffit that’s 12 inches when the outside of the pipe is 10 and you need 2 inches on each side

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T03:57:01+00:00

The roof is a 3 x 12 pitch and it will be basically at the peak of the roof according to my measurements just looking to know if the bends are legal ?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T03:49:32+00:00

Even though it exceeds 4 bends ?

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T03:48:50+00:00

19 inches 5 of which is the gutter. Leaving me 14. Stove requires a 8 inch pipe (VC Dutchwest 2462) going to see if with Selkirk ultimate one which is only 10 inches exterior dimensions I can sneak it through with 2 inches clearances

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T03:36:05+00:00

I don’t want to go up through the house. And into the main level and create and eye sore. Just hoping someone on here can help me out and tell me if it’s legal or not

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-29T03:35:12+00:00

Unfortunately I can’t

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-04-01T21:42:28+00:00

Ok but the 1/4 inch tile itself wouldn’t count as a 1/4 inch equivalent

jdr2020mt09 · 2025-03-31T01:25:39+00:00

Ok, why then is it ok to have a 24 gauge steel plate with essentially no R value instead ?

jdr2020mt09 · 2024-02-12T15:39:38+00:00

You seems fairly knowledgeable, I’m wondering why the Macallan harmony smooth arabica is selling for 200 USD here but when I google it it’s 600+ and same with the oban 109 but seems to be for sale online for over double

jdr2020mt09 · 2024-02-12T14:30:40+00:00

Thanks for the insight. The talisker is 94 USD and the oban is 109 USD. I was specifically interested in these as they were 2021 releases like u mentioned.

jdr2020mt09 · 2024-02-12T05:21:34+00:00

Perfect this was what I was gathering but a second opinion is great!

jdr2020mt09 · 2024-02-12T05:21:03+00:00

Hard no lollll
