venting a wood burner

[Ryan_V]

I've had an old wood burner in my shed for a while (never used it). I would like to put it in my garage. My question is can I side vent it, or do they all need to be vented vertically? It won't be used continually, just on the really cold nights for the dog and the wife's car. Thanks

To get a proper draft with a wood stove the top of the pipe should be 2 foot above the peck of the garage. It also needs to be Class A pipe from the space to the top. Also check with the insurance to make sure they will allow it in the garage and they may have more requirements.

gotta go up. Bonus is that if that requires a longer run from the stove that will get you more heat. I think if you went horizontally you'd need a blower etc.

This always makes me think of Dorothy Molter's cabin with the pipe that run across the room from the stove.

now that I've pulled it out, it's an old trailer home wood burner, that has the vent horizontally. This might work yet. Have to pull it out all the way to get a good look at it.

Do it right. We had a fire call a few weeks back for a shop that was on fire due to the wood burner. The shop was nearly a total loss but they saved a few cases of beer so there is that. Lost the dog that he kept in there during the day though.
