My son has bought a small farm house and would like to possibly add a wood burning stove. It has an upstairs and I think it would have to be vented out an exterior wall. Do they draft ok? Approximate cost for turn key? Thanks!

For every 90 degrees of bend in the stove pipe you lose 25% of your draft. Best is to take it out the ceiling if he can. There are ways to vent it through the second story, he'll use stove pipe to the ceiling, then he'll use double wall chimney pipe out the roof. I installed both of my wood stoves and chimneys.
He's looking at a minimum of $750 for the stove pipe and chimney parts. That stuff ain't cheap. And DO NOT cheap out on it.
Also remember, for proper draft, the chimney cap needs to be 2 feet above the nearest point of the roof 10 feet away. That's prolly as clear as mud.Last edited by UltraMax; 06-13-2018, 08:31 PM.
