Just put in single walled stove pipe into a SS double walled outdoor (through the wall) chimney in NY. Any and all critiques and feedback would be appreciated, as I am a first time coal burner.

Note* I am planning to build heat shield "walls"

Very nice! If you have a blower for forced draft I would get some high temperature tape or sealer for the joints. It will keep it from blowing fine ash into the room when the blower is running.

Hmm. I thought for sure the baro might be too low or too close to the stove. Thanks for the tape idea!

I'd put a T below the baro instead of a 90 to facilitate cleaning of ash that WILL build up there.

Thanks for the input. I do have a T outside, at the wall, do you still suggest putting a T below the baro indoors?

Ash will build up at the first 90 just keep that in mind as the season progresses.

I should think he could pop the baro out and run a vacuum cleaner hose in through the baro tee to reach that lower 90 ?

Welcome BiCO, I see you installed your pipe crimp down...no worries both ways work but I would consider fingering some furnace cement along the top ridge where the crimps are visible. Point being on the low draft days you could possible get some CO joining the party.

Please tell us about your stove. :mrgreen:

Yep, I just prefer access without dorking around with the baro :baby:

Thanks all, what to say about the stove except it's a brand new HITZER 50-93 which I haven't gotten acquainted with yet. It's much more intimidating in person :/

Hahahahaha no worries, a box stove is about as easy as it gets, and the 50-93 is built like an Abrams tank!

Plus our resident Hitzer guru , "Freetown Fred" will oblige with tech advice :yes:

I thought it might be a Hitzer tank by your pictures but I needed to know and here's why:...I will preamble this response without an ounce of controversy.

Your stove has a bi-metal thermostat that regulates primary air based on 2 things, 1 is the stove temp, and 2 is the setting in which you set. I have a stove that operates within those 2 functions and I do not need a barometer. I do have a mpd, ( manual pipe damper ) in the stove but is rarely if ever needed. If we, you and, others need to discuss this further a new,( old, there are many ), thread can be started.

Being a first time coal burner I am suggesting a path easiest traveled.

Have you heard of a manometer?

Michaelanthony, I had no idea it was an option for me to avoid a baro even after all the research. Yikes
