  • What pipes should I use to exhaust a wood burning stove?

    I have a small wood burning stove I would like to install in my shop. It's a three bay aluminum pole barn with an aluminum roof covered with asphalt shingles.

    The stove will go along the back wall, which means I will need about 6' of stove pipe before I reach the roof.

    Can I install uninstulated pipe 3'-4', then switch to insulated pipe to go through the roof? Or should I use insulated pipe the whole way? I figure I should insulate near the shingles to avoid a fire hazard, of course. But, I like the idea of 3'-4' of uninsulated pipe to help heat, as the hot pipe may radiate more heat.
