Hello All,
Built my cabin 32x24 with a 16x24 loft using Stony Wall logs, getting ready in the next week or so to start installing my wood stove heats up to 2000 SQFT 89000 BTU cabin is 1152 SQFT question is should I run the stove pipe up the interior wall then pop out and up ( going thru wall not roof ) or go up one section pop out then up the wall on the exterior of the cabin? I think for that size cabin and with a blower the stove will heat the place nicely , just wondering about inside stove pipe runs vs outside? thanks, Scott

My opinion is that straight up and through the roof results in better draft and an easier task cleaning the chimney. Follow the stove manufacturers minimum and maximums for pipe type/length. On metal roofs I use the silicone boots with the dead soft conformable ring and never had a leak from that.

Streight up and out. Easier cleaning, less creosote and easier install.
Any time smoke turns 90* is cools and builds creosote...the stuff that causes chimney fires.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking of a couple 45's instead of a 90 to reduce the build-up , not a big fan of penetrating the metal roof unless I have to.

Another vote for up through the roof. Neater looking install and likely better draft and less creosote issues. I used a Selkirk roof flashing made for metal roofs on ours. As an after the fact install on metal roofs, neither it or the silicone boots are ideal, but either can be installed without leaks.

Put a “t†on it if you go through the wall ,it’s easier to clean that way .
