That sounds about right. We were able to cut some cost by finding out what the chimney codes were for our county. And got single stove pipe up until the roof line. Triple walled though all the important bits to the top. The single pipe puts out heat into the room, where the double and triple put less ( but with a peace of mind..for safety) also shop online or local hardware store (think tractor supply, ace etc)you might be able to find it somewhere to get it a bit cheaper. Good Luck!! ( we spent about the same amount for pipe as we did the stove….so you have an idea)

[Gizmo]

Thank you so much for the great information!

[coyotech]

The price of chimney parts is ridiculous. They want to sell these kits for going through the roof, that cost more than the stove. For mine, I got stove pipe, a top cover (cheap) and fabricated the heat guard and roof flashing with flashing. Still kind of expensive, but close to a 10th of what the stupid kits cost. I didn’t find anything online or at other stores that looked good.

[Gizmo]

Thanks so much! I remember back in the 1970’s my Dad making our heat shield for our walls. I just need to think outside of the box.

[Juju-mawmaw]

You might check with Mary carter paint store in Cullman, AL. They usually carry things like that. You can give them a call to check the price. I know a friend was able to get some things for her fireplace cheaper there than in other places she found.

[Gizmo]

Thank you I will check this out.

I live in Nevada county Ca and the stove pipe is about $10,000 has to go above the roof the stove would be on the bottom floor (basement) I am going to look into used at the restores

[Gizmo]

I’m getting outta CA as soon as I can!

[LeaSnow]

That’s is about what we paid last year.

[Gizmo]

Thanks for the point of reference.

We’re VERY close to building a house (TN) and was having this discussion with our builder who stated the pipe alone for wood burning is $2k. He said the way he insulates it, a gas fireplace unvented will be very toasty without allowing the heat escape (as it does with wood – I realize there are different methods but we wouldn’t be doing those, just the regular). We will be in an area without natural gas and I’m VERY aware of what they’re “saying” about gas/propane – but I immediately realized how much gas we can purchase just by saving on not doing wood burning fireplace (we will be putting one outside on the porch – I know, I know — some things are for practical and some things are for pleasure and at our age and as many years as we’ve worked and saved, by golly, we’re doing some pleasure, too!!). We aren’t in the Arctic Tundra and would probably survive indoors in the worst case scenario. Also, my husband speaks face to face with multiple people in multiple occupations in our area, one of which this week happened to be a person in the local propane industry (a higher up). When asked about gas, the guy acted as if all is well. They are building the largest Bucee’s near us, plan to open in June with 120 gas pumps. I would think that a business following trends (or fear?) wouldn’t be taking that chance. Of course, anything can change, but for now, I think we’ve covered our bases on gathering information and we’re going with propane. If things change, we’ll deal with it when the time comes.

Thanks I’ve got a lot of life miles and I love me a wood stove.

[SGinTN]

Nothing like them! So comforting. Good luck!

[Gizmo]

Thanks

We had a propane tank out in and were really worried about the cost of filling it. We were used to paying 2.99 in MI but it was half that here.

[GaryRobin]

A propane fireplace puts alot of moisture in your house when you use it. Your windows will start to get condensation on them. Just a warning.

[Gizmo]

Absolutely agree on the issues of propane! I had a propane heater in 1985-86 also had black mold with a 9 month old! Got outta Dodge real quick! Thanks for educating others!

[Redcap]

Wow! That’s a hefty price. I got mine through the local Amish made by an Amish man in Ohio and shipped by train. We paid the Amish bishop $900 directly for the stove including the shipping and $150 for a local guy to come install the pipe we bought locally. We went to the Amish because ordering one elsewhere and paying shipping was prohibitively expensive and our Tractor Supply sold only garbage Chinese-made wood stoves, including U.S. Stoves which is all made in China now. Maybe try your local Amish?

[Gizmo]

Thank you for the excellent information! Do the Amish make an insulated pipe?

[Redcap]

I had to buy the pipe separately and locally. They used the stainless steel pipe from Tractor Supply but we just got the 6″ black pipe except in the ceiling where it’s double walled. I can’t remember if we got it at Tractor Supply in town or maybe a place called Sutherlands/Home Base in Missouri a few miles away. But I think it can also be found at Home Depot. But that reminds me that I do want to get some extra to have on hand should we need to replace it at some point…..

I think you can get the stove from Ashland Stoves or Stoves and More or something like that. It’s from Ashland, Ohio. It’s an odd stove. Dual coal and wood with a deep bed inside. Not the usual wood stove. But it works great.

[Redcap]

I forgot to add that my husband bought some kind of concrete board (if that’s what it’s called) and built the pad it’s on and put some of that behind the stove against the wall also. I don’t remember what that cost. Maybe $100 or less. Our floor isn’t level so he had to build a platform and then put the board on instead of just laying it under the wood stove.

[Gizmo]

That is what I plan to do cement board and tile on top of it. Thanks again for your input!

We installed our wood stove 15+ years ago. We discovered that the chimney piping (single wall to the ceiling and triple wall to the cap, about 16 ft in all) cost more than the wood stove. We obtained all the chimney pieces / parts locally and chose triple wall over double wall because I wanted to exceed the code requirements. I installed the chimney myself. It was amazingly expensive then, I can only imagine the cost now. But the comfort and security the wood stove has brought over the years was well worth the initial sticker shock. We have had heat, light and the ability to cook when the surrounding areas were without power for days in the dead of winter. I would do it again in a heartbeat, I would just be sitting down when I computed the final cost.

[Gizmo]

Thank you

[PackersRboss]

I too found that these chimney sellers are scamming people. I decided to go with a more established, professional company.

[Gizmo]

Would you be willing to share the company you used? I’m making it up that you maybe in WI?

[PackersRboss]

It was a couple of young guys out of Wild Rose area. Can’t remember names. They were clowns.

[email protected] was very helpful. He responded quickly. I think their out of the Oshkosh/Green Bay area.

[Gizmo]

Thanks so much!

[Mepmo]

menards has 6″ double wall for just over $100 for a 3′ piece. if you can install it your self you will save a ton of money.

[Gizmo]

Thanks! I will definitely be installing myself I have low tolerance for hiring out! 🙄

[Mepmo]

i hear you. nobody cares more about the job they are doing more than you.

[CloudsHomestead]

Maybe look into rocket mass heaters? They really intrigue me.

[Gizmo]

I’ll do some investigating on those. Thanks

Here is another option.

These can be built with cob, which takes research and time, but another option if you can’t get parts.

[Gizmo]

Thanks

[Squirrel]

Our local hardware store in Georgia charges $12 for each 4 foot section. Elbows are $15.

[Gizmo]

Good evening

Is that double walled insulated?

Thanks
