Leisure Line Pioneer chimney or SWG vent?
Posted: Wed. Oct. 10, 2018 7:28 am
Hi,
Last night I picked up a 4 year old Leisure Line Pioneer stove with the coal-trol. It’s going to be installed in my 440 sf detached woodshop and I have a couple of questions about venting. I’ve never run a coal stove before but keep two pellet stoves in the house.
I picked up 6” Selkirk Supervent from Lowe’s to go up through the roof. But yesterday I noticed the SWG-4HD on the Leisure Line website. I’m looking to idle the stove (burn as little coal as possible) Monday – Friday and then ramp it up on weekends. Would the 6” or the SWG offer any benefits to idling the stove for long periods of time? The SWG would give me more placement options for sure.
Also the woodshop has 7’ concrete block walls, with drywalled, insulated ceilings, and then the gable above that is plywood. If I used the SWG and wanted to go out the plywood gable, would I use a ceiling thimble and then switch over to double wall pipe to turn and run to the SWG? Or would I stay with regular stove pipe all the way to the SWG? Also is the SWG actually approved for coal use? It seems like it is listed for oil and gas on most websites.
Thanks for any help.
