I bought for $250, never used; all complete. I’ve watched many videos about potbelly/cannon stoves and read many posts. Been heating with wood since the 90’s and want to try Anthracite Nut, in a non-electric stove; in my basement. Heat with a pellet stove on the first floor of a 1400 sq ft two story. If I use a BD above a MDD, that should give sufficient control of the draft; of my 32’ chimney with a 8” 316 SS liner. Intend to have an Olympia 6” all fuel, forever warranty liner installed soon. Use?

Why not? What exactly are you asking? Worried about offending someone? You do what ever works for you man. Do your research, be safe, get warm .

welcome Paul , if you are asking about position of barometric damper and mpd , yes mpd always between stove and baro , as long as the stove joints are fairly tight this will be a decent heat source , get it on a hearth so it’s easier to tend , get a manometer and post some more photosWIburnerPaul wrote: ↑Tue.

I would leave the 8” liner unless it rotted ( you have absolutely no benefit of going to 6” the entire run coal exhaust doesn’t require velocity like wood smoke does)WIburnerPaul wrote: ↑Tue.

Do you have a mason chimney????????????????? Would make things easier for answering your questions. You'll love the simplicity of coal burning--ya might even consider losing the pellet stove for another coal stove--time will tell!!!!!

K, no need for both MPD &BARO--they did not even have BARO's back when--put in an MPD & light the old girl off!!! That forever 6" sounds like a good plan---do you have a mason chimney--if it's in decent shape forget any type of liner???? with the 8" thimble through the wall regular black pipe from stove to thimble just pack perimeter with regular old insulation & add ac beauty ring for looks. Kinda double post--yep, I'm old & kinda cyber dumb--- BUT, I keep tryin!!!

My chimney is straight up brick made with no liner. Added a 32’ 8” stainless steel liner (SS # unknown). Surrounded with vermiculite. Installed 8” because I had a Juca wood stove that had 8” flue flange.freetown fred wrote: ↑Tue. Feb. 28, 2023 1:22 pmDo you have a mason chimney?????????????????

that’s the way I understand it , no point in reducing it , it’s 316 the only rotted out liner I’ve seen was some aluminized crap , maybe high sulphur bituminous causes the issues with stainlesswaytomany?s wrote: ↑Thu. Mar. 02, 2023 4:28 pmThe way I understood his post, he had 8" and was going to run a six inch through it. Expensive, but seeing as the coal may eventually eat it up, maybe not a bad preventative measure? I don't know how to feel about it.

I don't know TBH. I've read here where guys have had liners fail in a few years and some that are still going. OP doesn't need it for sure, would the added 6" be good insurance? Maybe. Maybe not worth the expense. Maybe question should be based on usage. Will stove be used as a full time main heat supply? Or moderately run for supplemental heat?

Just coal, or did you do like others mentioned about burning wood and getting some creosote in it first?
