- All parts are from Imperial, I believe you can find them at Lowe's, or any decent hardware store, if not plenty of them on eBay. The following list is for a six inch pipe.
4 BM0023 elbows
2 BM0083 Tees
1 BM0047 connector
KK 0170 screws, 12 in a box, a couple boxes is more than enough.
I am 71 and these have been around for a long long time because they work so well, yes I have seen the long runs of stovepipe in some buildings too. Setting up a stove is something magical to me anyway.
My grandfather made a stove out of 2 55 gallon barrels. One on top of the other, you start the fire in the bottom one and the top one catches and transfers a lot of heat that would escape and keeps the soot down. You then only lose a little heat up the chimney. :)
I own a HVAC company and what you have there works well . just remember that the stove pipe off your stove will get much hotter with it. i have that "home made" in my hunting cabin and bumped into the stove pipe and got a bad burn. the stove pipe kinda glows a little red. btw, the paint might smell until it gets seasoned. good video.
Wonder what happens when doing this with an isulated pipe instead. Would it let the chimney burn more hot then without the heat exchanger. I think it just takes the heat out of the pipe which causes it to be coulder at the end. You need enough heat for draft and to prevent creosote build up.
Think this would pass a WETT inspection?
@@Anthony_Spilotro , don't know till I see it in person.. be safe.
What we use here in Eastern Europe for heating stoves is a heat exchanger that breaks into several (5-6) smaller pipes and then connects back again.
Wood and coal burning stoves are still very popular in rural areas as they're the cheapest way to heat a room in the winter.
Are these pipes filled with water? Thanks.
@@NoOneButRonPaul think of em like a car header in reverse, the exhaust would come I'm the collector and run out through the 4 pipes giving it much more surface area
@@brandonrichter6910 Thanks. I've got a 200L drum woodburner I've been using for 2 years now. I love it. I think I might give this a go this winter.
I heard the birds and wind then finally an elk. Great video discription.
Love the truck.
My dad done this years ago and it made a big difference in heating.
Be sure to do another video once you get it up and running!
Great and ingenious idea! Thanks for making the video!
❤🙂Just watched your video with my 94 year old father. He might try making one of these for a 4 inch wood pellet stove. We both laughed at the two females part and the transgender pieces of pipes. I'm a 61 years old Lesbian TransWoman and we loved your video. Thank you... 😊
Cool I've seen this often when I was a kid.it does make a big difference.sometimes the chimney thimble would be high enough where you could use a pipe or two between the up and down facing elbows .glad to see someone show everybody this type of set up.good vedio brother.it brought back some good memories from a long time ago
I love your truck !
ALSO A GREAT IDEA WITH THE PIPE.
That's a FANTASTIC but simple way to increase the area of hot pipe close to the stove and ( relatively ) close to the floor as heat rises but does little good up at the celling or roof . Also , getting the hottest possible exhaust gases it likely wont accumulate soot or creosote . Question though ; Scavenging more heat from the smoke near the stove , does this lead to a colder chimney farther up that WOULD accumulate more soot and Creosote ? I also think it looks really neat ! Ontario Canada .
Just like the one Miss Kitty had in the Long Branch.
I used on like it in my shop and had a metal box with horizontal tubes and thermostat controlled fan that really saved the heat above it. I powered it with a deep cycle car battery and inverter if the power was out. It really warmed the shop !!!
THAT'S RIGHT! I remember that!! She did have a fancy pipe in her Saloon!!! You get the prize for that one!!
You are so correct with your logic on surface area to increase the heat output of a stove. One down side is the corrugated elbows tend to attract buildup of creosote. My next door neighbor has this problem even when using seasoned wood. I believe this is caused by slowly burning of the wood.
Yes it would build up. since this would be for winter use only, it could be cleaned by pulling a chimney brush through it attached to a piece of wire before each installation.
@@royparker7856 What size tubing is used on the six inch flu pipe ??? Thanks
Sorry Roy, I replied to the wrong party about the tubing. How much more heat on a percentage bases did you get using this method Sir ??? Thanks and good day too.
They had one them on gunsmoke or banaza in the saloon.
I saw that a few weeks ago and wondered why it was like that. Now I know.
Nicely done thanks for posting mate
Well done! That's stovepipe art.
That would confuse the heck out of a squirrel for awhile anyway, should one lurk within during the off season.
I was thinking about the same concept then found your video. Looks great!
Thank you for your knowledge Sir great idea I'll be making one of these myself to get more heat out of my small pot belly stove.
i still use stove pipes such as your talking about LCL , my farm house was built around 1780s , my family called them "Scots Heaters " they do work well and heats my house really well . i enjoy your videos watch them all the time and Thank You for making them .
That’s awesome log man , wish I could put one on my heat pump.
We would all appreciate your 2-year report on how it worked for you.
Look up his video money maker he did just that
@@mattcanfield6384 I did, thank you for the advice, but comments are turned off for that video. I like it when you can read the comments because it gives feedback or answers some questions I may have. Strange that the comments are turned off
Transgender stove pipe connector ! That's a good one !
I was watching all the heat coming out of my woodstove chimney the other day and was thinking I needed something like this d
Thanks !
3 years later, how does it work?
Any updates?
Idk about his but I remember my dad building one and it puts out the heat .
A damper in the pipe saves alot of heat.
And can be cleaned easily.
Your mom saves alot of heat
Good stoves have dampers
I love the sparrows chattering in the background, and how they suddenly all stop. Sadly they are becoming rare in England, hardly seen any more.
Thanks, I was wondering what birds were making all that chatter. 😃
Dude, that's a great idea, I'm going to do that. Thanks again, you should get a patent for that.
Funny. Imperial is from here in small town New Brunswick.
this looks like an awesome idea
Thats an excellent and intelligence solution
Nice video. If I had a stove I would use it.👍
Be sure to put this far enough from the actual stove exhaust. I put a pipe between. Because otherwise the first t joint will heat glowing red which can be dangerous.
Curious about creosote buildup in that contraption. Also how do you clean that?
never thought I would hear "transgendered" on this channel, hilarious! keep up the good vids.
Yeah, that was too funny!
Super! !!!!
Hello from Russia! ! ! ! !
Gotta keep up with the times
Transgender deal! Outstanding. Thanks for these videos. Our society would not know about many of these older technologies.
I look at this heat exchanger design and I think with a bit of tweaking and a heat driven "ecofan" in the middle would boost its capability.
Has anyone tried this?
I was thinking the same!
Looks like a great creosote collector.
50% lazy stove owners + 50% shity stove = creosote
Great video
New subscriber
Cheers
I see these alot in old western movies
Thank you! However one important question… What’s the minimum vertical height out of the stove before I can put in a 90° angle back toward the wall… Thanks
I have a big 5th wheel and most of my gas heat goes out the exhaust pipe. I've been trying to figure out how to safely re-route the exhaust heat back into the trailer.
maybe a fan to push the heat will help as well. thanks for the video
Which he mentions
I like the idea, but to be honest, cleaning that thing would be a nightmare and im sure the creosote would build up fast in it. This is the first video of yours I have seen so Im not sure what kind of stove you have, but newer stoves with some kind of secondary burn and upwards of 70 and 80% efficient.. I just bought a $600 US Stove that ""Says"" it will heat 1200 sq/ft and my downstairs level is 850 sq/ft. Its pretty small as far as wood stoves are concerned but let me tell ya, it kicks out the heat.. Now of course stove placement in the house, and how drafty the house is make a lot of difference but our house was built in 1920 and to say the least,,, in the dead of winter I could probably keep all of our groceries in the basement with no worries.. So, I would say if you are having that much trouble getting heat from your stove and pipe,, then something is wrong or you need a new stove, cause that thing looks like a huge fire hazard to me.. But thats me and I think its worth saying just in case some youngster is out there thinking this would be great but doesnt know the importance of cleaning the stove pipe and thinks its something that they can forget about..
I've been trying to think how to get a little more heat off my stove without taking up too much space and I think this is just the ticket. It's starting to cool off in Minnesota so I better make one of these within the next month.
Ms Kitty on gunsmoke had that in her bar.
love it!
Uh. Maybe next time, you could film this indoors, where there's no wibd.
I am thinking this might work for in the wall tent we use for hunting, might be just the ticket.
Excellent. Can a chimney sweeping brush still go up through the curved flue? Thank you.
How fast that would soot up and get clogged? And how hard it would be to brush clean with regular stove pipe cleaning brush ( one with rope, brush and weight)?
Seasoned wood, no problem.
you could always just take that section apart and clean it by hand a few times a year. kind of a pain in the ass but it would work.
I imagineif itsin convenient place you can just remove the elbows and clean once a year
And how does this affect draft...???
you need a amazon affiliate account you could be getting paid when people click the amazon link and buy the parts listed . I'm not gonna build this until september 2020 i'll check back for links, either way thanks for the info :)
I never knowingly use Amazon, I can usually find a better deal from other suppliers. When you buy from Amazon, too many people get involved, and they all want a piece of the pie. But if something goes wrong with the purchase everybody blames somebody else, and nobody accepts the responsibility. I buy a lot of things off eBay, where you are dealing directly with the seller, who actually has possession of the item, its not being drop shipped.
Will this work for pellet stove 3” & 4” Sir? I would like to capture heat ftom pellet stove
You should get a lot more heat out of that. My house doesn't have a fireplace or wood stove in it. I have been thinking of ways to set up a wood stove in it. My grandma had a fisher mama bear wood stove that she used in her old farmhouse. I found a fisher baby bear on Craigslist the other day which would be perfect for my house. I wonder if I could build a hearth for it and then put a terra cotta pipe through the wall and run my stove pipe through it and turn it up outside. That way I don't have to build any chimney. Not real sure if that would work, don't want to burn my house down. Haha

I have a fisher “furnace” in my shop that’s retired from use in 2 beach cabins. I have know idea how old it is but it’s still in good shape and works real well. I can load 24” wood in it. They’re great stoves.
Willy wonka children's movie had one in the house where the family room where every one sleep in , their pipes where half size in width cool he end dude.
So that doesn't mess up the draw? I have two 90 degree bends... Was thinking of putting an h pipe on the end of the stack plus this exchanger you have
I personally would not use this because it will have an effect on the draw. In venting you should not have more then 180 degrees of total bend. Other Heat exchange systems are a straight pipe that allows for the smoke and lost heat to heat a tube that a blower pushes air through, which wont effect your draw as it is not angled.
I am planning to build a rocket mass heater
Im thinking of using 2 of these heat exchangers stacked because rocket stoves burn much hotter
What do you think?
Is the creosote build-up the same as in a vertical pipe? Any harder to clean it out?
In another video he says once a year he removes this heat exchanger and cleans it, only fine ash that piles up in certain spots.
He has 3 videos on this device and they are all a good watch
@@endutubecensorship Thanks.
Will this pass a WETT inspection ?
if you put those fans run by heat in the middle
Anyone who has one of these on their stoves...how long is it, end-to-end? My stovepipe has 1 straight section that is 21-1/2" long. I could swap this out in that spot but this heat exchanger would need to be that length or shorter.
a TEG fan stting on the Tee might distribute the scavenged heat
Passer domesticus?
And fins too
Hope That Chinese Pipe holds up
Tell those birds to shut up
"I am not a female end, I identify as a transgender recirculating wood stove vent pipe/Apache helicopter!"
CLEAN OUT ??????
Try and clean it?🤯
And this folks will burn down your house if not cleaned twice a year atleast !
At the cost of drag.
Do they have thinner parts like that? Like if that is 6 inches do they have a smaller diameter?
Yes, Imperial makes the parts in 4 inch, but it would probably be costlier, and take a bit of searching. It would however be a great addition to a tent stove.
@@logcabinlooms Can't get over how much a piece of stove pipe costs. I've been making a small stove and the pipe is going to cost like 10 times the stove.
What year is the truck?
1954, Dodge M37
@@logcabinlooms Thanks. Just like one my gramps had!
Work or not
🤣 You are awesome! I love it you said "transgender" connectors. I was looking for a simple solution to get more heat out of the pipes and you solved my problem. God Bless and have a great day Sir.
On a thing like this would you put the damper on before the contraption or after it?
+Brother Blacksmith before, my damper is on top of the stove, then one 2 foot section of pipe, then the reclaimer. That works perfect, I have never gotten so much heat out of the stove, been kicking myself for not having done this long ago.
logcabinlooms i thought it wouldve been after because then the heat might circulate in the pipes longer, but i geuss the pipes might get red hot and thats a little sketchy.
Hencewhy i am thinking of building 2 of these right on top of another...dissapate the heat from a rocket stove
@@xgymratx how'd that work for you? Doesn't a rocket stove require the strong draw to get the rocket affect?
@@modifiedchevy i never built the rocket stove....i ended up with a unique cast iron stove shaped like an "A" that is tall and stores alot of heat
I have yet to install and i may not have enough room to do this but plan on stealing its heat from soapstone slabs and using those aluminum rings and a pipe mounted stirling fan to get more heat
You could make a bigger version and put your TV in the centre of it. LOL
Lol lol transgender. Best laugh in awhile been trying to think of a way to do same thing . I only foot half from stove to chimney hole ( chimney has been bricked up except hole for pipe)
That wouldn't be legal in the UK.
As with most things, like kitchen knives. One day spoons will be banned there for making people overweight
Transgender deal, darn pipes just don't know which way to...flow. 😉
"Transgender deal".. ha!
