[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 3913259, member: 7203"] very much info in this post. burning wood isn't for the unattached mentality. if you run a cold stove you risk a fire that will need fast intervention or the chimney will overheat and the house will catch fire. to many sparks and you risk a roof fire if you have cedar shingles especially. a poorly constructed or to big of a flu will have draft problems etc. a good double or tripple wall stove pipe flu that has a dampner will draft efficiently and the stove and flu will burn will be hotter longer and be easy to lite and the creosote will not collect in the flu as bad. a catalytic in the stove will just get more heat for less money. funny thing is that during the 1970 era inflation event i remember installing all kinds or stoves inserts etc as people tried to get by and stay warm,the modern stoves inserts are so much better safer than those were. i have helped extinguish some chimney fires and once you see just how dangerous one is you will never forget. so pay attention to the installation and learn how to keep a fire. also learn how to sweep your flu.
