Re: Piping exhaust outside, safe options needed

What I would do for getting the exhaust through a wood wall is, take a non insulated stove pipe, then get a cap to close off one end, then take the cap and make a hole in it just big enough to fit the exhaust pipe through. Then cut a hole in the wall big enough to fit the pipe through. Kinda like this:

                    !Wall
                    !
                 -----------Stove pipe
  Cap-->___!______________
           ------------------------------ <--- Exhaust Pipe
      Cap--> !
                 -----------Stove pipe
                    !
                    !Wall
Ok, I suck at key-board drawings, just use your imagination ;) :P

Not bad art, I would call it ASCII-CAD sounds more professional that way.   :D
Thats pretty much what I did.  Except I capped both ends one with vent holes, helps hold and center the pipe.   Then the triple wall pipe is good for 2100F, overkill but other wise I probably wouldn't sleep much.



Yeah, I'd probably put 2 caps on as-well, I also might get some of that foil backed fiberglass insulation, which is quite thin, and put 1 wrap around the exhaust pipe where it is inside the stove pipe, but I wouldn't worry too much if you have a 2100*F insulated stove pipe, only for the non-insulated stove pipe.
