Thank you! This was very helpful. Newly divorced Single mom of 3 that recently discovered the stove in my house had an 8 inch exit pipe but a 6 inch chimney. My fires always kicked smoke back in the house. Replacing stove to a 6" exit pipe and your video makes me feel I can reconnect it myself. Thank you again! Clear explanation and I appreciated the demonstration of the matches.
I hooked my stove up and started it just yesterday. I was told the exact opposite. After one day of use, I noticed a streak of creosote on the outside of my pipe and more smoke smell than should be. After watching your video, I’ll be taking the pipe back apart and reinstalling the correct way…(as soon as the fire dies out😅). Thanks for the great information….makes complete sense everything you said !!!
Thank you for making it clear on the proper way of installing a wood stove pipe. The first stove I ever hooked up I did the opposite way and the creosote did run out of pipe. I'm going to be hooking up another wood stove here this weekend. Thank you again
Thank you so much for clearing that up! I was scratching my head why it was seeming backwards how the pipes fit together. The arrows on the pipe seamed backwards to how it seems it should be but they must not be wrong. I watched your video and your match example makes me feel much more comfortable now.
Perfect video & explanation! Direct and to the point covering all needed topics ( no rambling on & on) I wish all UA-cam “how to videos “ followed your direction 👍
Thanks for explaining the WHY behind the upper pipes inside and not outside the pipes above! I had a feeling there was a correct way for them to be put together! Smart! 😉
Kevin, well you probably just saved our lives. We have a cook woodstove with a magic heat unit. Its been installed for two years and its a mess of creosote to clean out. We installed the pipes the other way than you described here and for 2 years we have had to take it apart often to clean it out. Our fires have not been effective and we have had two chimney fires even. My husband went to a stove place because one of the pipes never seems to connect the way you say and they even crimped it for us hearing what we wanted to do. If someone just goes to get stove pipe they would automatically just install it the other way. Thanks so much!!!!
cook stoves are not great design. the anytime smoke travels thru angles it cools and leaves creosote. I clean my cook stove every 2 weeks during winter with a wood stove vacuum, self deigned scraper and metal putty knife. i used a 6inch wire pipe brush and 10' of fiber rod to clean pipe. Any time you have a stove that is hard to start and will not burn, the stove/pipe needs to be clean. as for burning out creosote, 1. heat fatigues metal, the hotter the pipe the more years you take off it life span. 2. if your stove pipe goes thru a roof or attic, how do you know that there is not a minor leak or defect that an ember travels into your rafter or attic, then your off to the races. 3. where do the ember travel outside your stove pipe, land on your roof or near by fuel source. things to think about...love my cook stove. but its heavy on maintenance
@@Robinson-Homestead I am about to install as well, this coming week. Thank you for this info. We have a chimney. But we have to install from a new stove, to the ceiling. Where there is the chimney part, coming out of the ceiling. Hoping we install everything correctly. Can't afford a professional install. SO, I take it that you are not supposed to put any sealant on the pipe sections? I seen some type of sealant for sale. Wondering what it is for.
To the newbies. I use Duravent double wall stove pipe. Each Duravent pipe is clearly labeled as to the direction of installation. In addition there is no way or need to add additional seal to the inside stainless steel wall. The outer wall is strictly a buffer so you don't burn the house down. Heat from the pipe air gap (between the inner and outer walls) enters the living space via convection. The top of these stoves have a "normal" operating temperature of 300 to 500 degrees - nothing to mess with.
WOW...Thank you sir. I would have never ever thought this was the way to install Wood Stove pipe. This should be the standard for all to install. Excellent Video. Thank you!
Thanks man! I just bought a house that has a wood burning stove and I noticed the chimney pipe was installed like yours and I thought, oh no, smoke is going to come out of the pipe! I have a 24’ ceiling and was crappin’ my pants about the logistics around fixing my “improperly installed” stove pipe. What you’re saying here makes perfection sense. Thanks again!
Great help to show how and why to assemble the pipe connections like that. When my the fire is set very low, it creates quite a bit of smoke, some of which gets inside the room from around the pipe joints. I’m planning to buy some compound to put around the joints.
You don't need compound you need to extend your pipe higher you are not getting enough draft or if you have a new home open a window. Could be to air tight.
I took apart my stove pipe (to clean it) and reinstalled it today, but it didn't make sense to me that the female end would go outside the male end on the way up from the stove. I thought the previous owners had screwed up...until I saw this video. Thanks my man!
Buddy I'm glad I watched your video. My intuition was telling me to put the pipe in opposite of what you were saying because I assumed I would be belching smoke into my house. Thanks a million!
I installed my woodstove today and I have my stacks exactly like you recommend but all my Smoke detectors started screaming! I even did your match test so I don't know why the detectors are going off. But in fairness they go off when my wife is cooking ( No....stuff isn't burning!). Seems like they are way to sensitive. I opened a couple windows and that helped.
Thank you for this video. I was looking on the internet for high heat vent tape to seal the stove pipe joints.... Now that I've seen your fantastic explanation I know that those gaps will NOT be a problem. Thank You !
I had a house that was sealed so tight that the gaps were a problem. When somebody turned on the dryer, a bathroom fan, or the kitchen exhaust fan it would suck smoke into the house. I had to start cracking a window when using the stove.
Very good information being shared in a relatable and easy to follow and understand way. Thank you so much! The matchstick/smoke trick should be all I need to make my bf understand what I've been saying about the draft being off because he had the pipe upside down. You have such a warm and down to earth energy and have a way with explaining things! 🖤✨
I'm a new subscriber. You are the best. No one else is taking the time to address these fine details about proper installation of the telescoping flue pipe. I am very grateful for you and your knowledge. Thanks again for all of your shared wisdom 🪵🪓✨🔥💗
You actually really helped. We live on the slope side of a hill, and the earth moved a ton, so much to move the fireplace stack off center. That said, all of a sudden, this “juice” came down from the ceiling box. If you have anymore advice, please do!
Thank you for the video Kevin. Having recently re-installed my flue pipes, I worried they might be the wrong way around. Fortunately they weren't. Your video dispelled my concerns.
Thank you for explaining this! I was about to install it the other way because that made sense to me. But after you explained it, it makes complete sense to do it the other way!
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Man that makes perfect sense. Not sure why I didn't look at it like that in the first place!! But now you got me switching everything around as we speak!! Lol duhhhhhhh!! 😂
Thanks for video, I should have watched before I was told that my pipes were backwards so I started to reverse the direction but that advice was not correct. You have it right.
Thank You! You definitely solved the whole female to male connection conundrum for me. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why all the connections were "wrong" lol
Where I live that damper in the first flue section is not permitted by code. On the creosote/water leakage, the first flue section can only install one way - the crimped end inserted into the stove collar. As for tracing air movement, whether at a flue or room drafts, I suggest a cigarette of mosquito coil and a hand held flash light will make the smoke trace more visible.
never seen it explained that way. We use wood to heat or home when I was a kid. Our pipe was ran the other way an was always told to not run it the other way. But I guess lol. thanks for the video.
Do I need double wall for exhaust/ air. What about going through ceiling /roof needs to be double walled for protection (heat)? What size pipe is normal.
Thanks mate I was concerned about the little gaps when joint my flu and was wondering if I needed to seal them with a sealer but this answered my question. 👍🏻
I would seal it thru and thru my uncle is a master plumber and hvac your reasoning is fine but a sealed correctly drafted stove should have no gaps idk if it dose suck a match in if a obstruction would semi seal your pipe and mess the draft up it will fill your house with smoke I've been on them.kind of botched jobs....just my opinion
Wow been doing it wrong for years... thanks so much. I try not to burn green wood to keep the creosote to a minimum. I'm looking to set up my new stove with traps.
seems like just due to the potential of rain so would the insertion options be moot on the assembly if the pipe goes 90 degree above the stove and into a chimney or out through a wall that has a T pipe on the other side ?
What happens when the smoke does come out of the slider pipe? How much pipe is the overlap? It's all installed properly and the outside stack is installed correctly.
Hello from Ukraine, This is a very expainatory good video. I was wondering - does the smoke come into the room from that gap ,where popes join, when you just start the fire in the stove ? Thanks
@@Robinson-Homestead Thank a lot. I was afraid that the smoke will come in and assembled the pipes "by smoke", now I will re-do "by condensation" approach. It was so disappointing to see water literally pouring on pipes exterior, did not expect that much from just a condensation, it lasted for about 5 minutes untill pipes heat up. You way will fix the issue. Thanks.
Great video much appreciated the explanation of why it goes this way, it's not intuitive as you would look at it and think it should go the other way, really good job thank you.
Thanks so much. We are getting ready to install a woodstove in our sunroom. We arent sure tho if we should have the pipe go straight up through roof or go out the window?. What should be the best way? Thanks again for your video...very helpful.
Sun rooms can a special challenge. Kevin is correct, straight is always best. But regardless of the path, the termination height is the real problem. Many folks who have a stove in the sun room have draft issues because the chimney is too short. It can be correct as far as it rising above the sun room roof, but not tall enough in relation to the house. Contact your local CSIA.org or NFICertiffied.org chimney sweep to help you plan your installation.
When you burn off the creosote on your chimney what temperature do you do it at? At the end of the video when you mentioned watching the temperature. At what point do you stop it at? I couldn't find it in the comments.
Wow, i am Loving your video man. . I have to install my Wood stove in 2 days, and it is my first time doing this. What i have been wondering about the last 14 days is if i have to put some type of gasket in the pipe which goes into the stove at the top, to kind of seal it off, But since you say that it would not matter even if you see fire thru the side then i dont know if i have to do anything ? I did Buy a 0.5 mm glassfiber gasket for Wood stoves, to push in with a screwdriver, but would you say i should do that? And i completely understand what you say about the Black shiny stuff which gets piled up inside, because there was a ton of that inside my oven when i bought it. And yes my pipes are going into the top just like yours, and not around.
Hello Kevin, Thanks for that informative viedo on the chimney pipe. I have a very similar stove as yours with a box base as seen in your room. I've never had a fresh air supply to it, and only relyed on air sucked in from the rooms. I want to bring a fresh air sourse from outside, that goes thru the base and directly to the stove. This should eliminate the stove from finding draafts throughout the house sucking in cold air from under the exterior doors and round windows, yet the air's got to come in from somewhere to supply oxygen, but the downside is you still feel drafts in the house. I have a crawlspace and can easily drill a 4 inch hole and bring air to it from one of the crawlspace vents. Any suggestions on this project? By the way, THUMBS UP!!!
Good explanation. Its counter intuitive to install this way and if you had just said to do it that way because you know best I would have ignored you. It's hard to ignore logic and proof though. Thanks for providing both.
Yes on creosote running down . But sometimes the middle joint on the telescopic single wall pipe can back puff a bit of smoke if it’s windy outside ? I guess the draft is affected by chimney creosote buildup. What’s your pros and cons on single wall pipe over double wall pipe? Thanks for your videos
I was told the stack is backwards what you say, but your reasoning is far better than the other person's. Thanks for your video!!!
Thank you for watching and for the comment.

Wow, i am Loving your video man. . I have to install my Wood stove in 2 days, and it is my first time doing this. What i have been wondering about the last 14 days is if i have to put some type of gasket in the pipe which goes into the stove at the top, to kind of seal it off, But since you say that it would not matter even if you see fire thru the side then i dont know if i have to do anything ? I did Buy a 0.5 mm glassfiber gasket for Wood stoves, to push in with a screwdriver, but would you say i should do that?
And i completely understand what you say about the Black shiny stuff which gets piled up inside, because there was a ton of that inside my oven when i bought it. And yes my pipes are going into the top just like yours, and not around.
You can use a gasket if you like.
If you have a good draft you should be fine thank you for the comment.
@@Robinson-Homestead Thank you sir. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Can you make a video of how you burn out your stove? That would be great! Thank you!
Thank you sooo much. A much needed video to help us newbies understand this stuff!!!
Thanks Greg glad to help.
If you're going through the wall, is it better to go through right above the stove or have some vertical run internal, then run through the wall?
I would do 24" run
Hello Kevin, Thanks for that informative viedo on the chimney pipe. I have a very similar stove as yours with a box base as seen in your room. I've never had a fresh air supply to it, and only relyed on air sucked in from the rooms. I want to bring a fresh air sourse from outside, that goes thru the base and directly to the stove. This should eliminate the stove from finding draafts throughout the house sucking in cold air from under the exterior doors and round windows, yet the air's got to come in from somewhere to supply oxygen, but the downside is you still feel drafts in the house. I have a crawlspace and can easily drill a 4 inch hole and bring air to it from one of the crawlspace vents. Any suggestions on this project? By the way, THUMBS UP!!!
Good explanation. Its counter intuitive to install this way and if you had just said to do it that way because you know best I would have ignored you. It's hard to ignore logic and proof though. Thanks for providing both.
Thank you for the comment Flyingsod Wai I don't know everything but I know not to mess with your life my friend.
Yes on creosote running down . But sometimes the middle joint on the telescopic single wall pipe can back puff a bit of smoke if it’s windy outside ? I guess the draft is affected by chimney creosote buildup.
What’s your pros and cons on single wall pipe over double wall pipe?
Thanks for your videos
With double wall pipe you can be closer to conbustibles than single wall pipe, that is the only difference that i know of.
Any brand of stove pipes you recommend? Should it be the split pipe or solid? And should you install a damper or put a premade damper in?
