Do we need a warm garage....

[dadster4]

I have installed many brands of vent pipe...follow manufacturers directions and you will be OK.
I put in a "Ventis" brand class A chimney...SS inside and out...used 3 SS screws in each connection that only penetrate the outer pipe. Nice stuff, and should be...BIG $$$...and I don't want to ever install it again (12-12 pitch roof)

I have double wall SS pipe on my stove - installed in 1982 and still bright & shiny on the inside. I remember how upset I was at the time - SS pipe cost one dollar per inch. Times change. Mine is twist lock with no screws - never had a problem.

What's in the box...it says Supervent on the out side, on the pipe it reads, Made in Canada, by Selkirk Corp. The 6" ID pipe measures a little over 8" OD, be interesting to see how hot it gets on the outside of the pipe, but the stuff sure is shinny. One thing I'm curious about when it goes together by twisting it, wonder if it will untwist by itself or does it need a screw to hold it, hummm, youtube............

Actually three screws per section reccomended. Selkirk has been making this product for over 30 years and it did a good job.

The stainless insulated pipe I have (house & shop) is guaranteed for life, made in Canada... I heat my house with wood, so it does get used all winter.

My brother has the same pipe in his shop and it's a lot more than 10yrs old, it still looks like new.

He keeps his shop heated all winter too, as he has a kitchen and pooper in it.

I also have the same pipe in my shop, it's easily 30 yrs old, but I don't burn my shop stove every day... BUT, it was pipe dad used for 10 years or so, when heating his house. I got it used from him...

Wow, guaranteed for who's life?

Post the brand, supplier, cost. I'm all about insulated pipe that meets the standard your post set.

Well--- I went to youtube for chimney pipe info, but I had a song stuck in my head all day so after listening to Long Black Veil by J.C. and several others a dozen times, came back here and surprised by some good input here. Seems like we have 3 main views from the Twisters, Screwer's and Clamppers, the ABC plan, at this point I'm leaning towards plan A and see how that works. Think I want to see how the twisting together goes, if I sneeze and the pipe un-screws I'll go to plan B or C and look at that through my $$$$$ glasses.

Still have some time consuming prep-work to do, got a 17"x18" hole cut through the first floor, tomorrow I'll run a plum-line to make sure I'm still heading toward the roof in the right-ish location. Then I have to move the guard rail from the N. end of garage to the other end, requires making 2 more mounting plates to be permanently fastened/screwed to the roof, then pin the temp railing in, that way the roof some how is not so steep, with 14' ft. walls that sudden stop could be ouch.

I do need a warm garage/shop. Currently using an old kerosene heater and a propane tank with the dual burner attachment on top. What kills me is the cost of kerosene at Home Depot and the refilling of 20b propane tanks. Really want to keep my shop dryer in the winter time but it costs a fortune the way I am doing it now.

I've got the same issue in Olympia...

Shop came with a double barrel wood heater and metal flue... only used a few times in the last 10 years...

Last time I went to use it the barrels and flue crumbled I'm guessing from the corrosive creosote over time.

My retired neighbor has a small shop and heats with wood just about everyday year round... it's the only place I've been in Olympia that the air is really dry...

Chimney stove pipe install is still on-going, rail on roof is moved, started on pipe platform, planing on around 5 ft. off floor.

In the mean time wanted to make sure the the high pricey pipe was stainless steel, only way I know is with a magnet, magnet didn't stick to the inside, but stuck on the outside, that don't sound like stainless steel to me, so I email-ed Selkirk with my concern and disappointment and kinda surprised they replied. They sent me a document, stating> Is stainless steel magnetic, now after reading it, all's well IF the pipe will last and last.....

Yep... depends on the variety as to degree of magnetism...

At one time I had a small garage business of producing Stainless Steel Water Pump Shafts for antique cars and would go through the same discussions 35 years ago.

We have 2 stainless sinks and the mounting flanges on both show magnetism traits while the main sink walls and bottoms do not.

Below is an interesting read on stainless and magnetism.

Ive never had heat in the work shop. AC now that's a necessity.
