Hey all, my plan is to heat the cabin with a Century wood burning stove. Our log cabin is a true two story so it'll go up through the first floor, then through the ceiling of the second floor into the attic and then out the roof. My question is with a double wall pipe, how hot do you think the pipe will be when going through the roof? I've been told that at that point you could most likely keep your hand on it without burning yourself? The reason I ask is that where it's going to exit the roof will be 3 inches from a truss. I'd hate to cut the truss and then reinforce it somehow if I didn't have to.

If you use a proper insulated transition piece the clearance to combustibles is only 2" (check specs of course)...then you wouldn't have to worry...

Quoting: Smawgunner double wall pipe
Do you mean double wall stove pipe or double wall insulated chimney pipe? The only thing that should penetrate a roof is insulated double wall or the triple wall, air insulated chimney pipe.

Sounds like you intend to have the stove pipe penetrate the floor and pass through the second floor space before going thru the roof. Same thing applies here- stovepipe is not supposed to pass through any wall or ceiling or floor, it doesn't reduce the temperature enough to be safe. Technically, stovepipe is used only in the same room as the stove itself, as soon as you pass through anything you use chimney from that point onward until it reaches termination above the roof. But, if the stove were in a two story open area, the stovepipe could extend two stories up to the ceiling, then change over to chimney.
