Dave Quinn : Dave, you probably are just dealing with different interpretations of local codes, we do want to be safe, I was counting the thimble as your double wall section,
I will always work to meet or exceed codes! Over 30 years of selling and installing heating systems on this side of the Atlantic, and I would be afraid that If i varied from
common practices around here some one would tell me that I didn't know how to do my job !
I think that you are dealing with a bit off Gaelic Canny-ness (being miserly with a Frank) that has found its way into local code. If you allow for 2 meters of Vertical chimney
for every 1 meter of horizontal chimney, and end your stove pipe about a meter above the tallest peak on your house you should have no problem with a good "draft '' in
your chimney !
You are within the traditional belt of Bocage that almost cost the Allies the price of a successful invasion, and a belt of local trees may raise the requirement for chimney
height at your location, time will tell for you but you should get a good idea from your neighbors houses !
A thought, You may have a requirement for a clean out with every 90 degree connection, and this is a way to avoid this requirement.
If you choke down the air supply to your conventional wood stove at night to hold a fire overnight, you would have a dirty fire and soot and creosote will settle out, mostly
in the horizontal run, though water vapor condensing in your exterior chimney catching the soot and creosote will be slightly more common if your draft carries it past the
horizontal sections !
So, go with local requirements, longer horizontal runs will pump more heat into your upstairs bedroom, and actually slow down your draft slightly.
Again as long as you have a reflective barrier above your stove pipe, with a channel for air circulation on the other side away from the stove pipe you will re-radiate the
heat ( 85-ish %) away from the walls and ceiling.
Most of your problems would be none existent with a good rocket
mass Heater, but that is a story for another day !
For the Craft ! Think like Fire, Flo like gas, Don't be the Marshmallow ! As always your Comments and questions are solicited and welcome BIG AL !
