How to Install a Pipe on a Wood Burning Stove
A wood burning stove provides warmth and the aesthetically pleasing display of a fire in your home. For safety and smoke venting, the stove must be connected to a heavy metal pipe that vents to a chimney and outdoors. Proper positioning of the stove in the room is also important to prevent overheating and potentially scorching the walls. Stove pipes are sold in the diameter of the vent on the back of your stove and attach with sheet-metal screws. Does this Spark an idea?
