I was told the stack is backwards what you say, but your reasoning is far better than the other person's. Thanks for your video!!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for watching and for the comment.

[@christinarivera8818]

Thank you! This was very helpful. Newly divorced Single mom of 3 that recently discovered the stove in my house had an 8 inch exit pipe but a 6 inch chimney. My fires always kicked smoke back in the house. Replacing stove to a 6" exit pipe and your video makes me feel I can reconnect it myself. Thank you again! Clear explanation and I appreciated the demonstration of the matches.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

This video may help to th-cam.com/video/qw71f9oZV_c/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching.

[@Drakesfamily6]

Ive watched TONS OF videos about installation and you have EXPLAINED this way better than anyone I have watched!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for watching I am glad to help.

Your comment saved me lots of time lookibg for the best install video.
KUDOS to you both!

[@Kim-ik9sq]

Thanks for explaining the WHY behind the upper pipes inside and not outside the pipes above! I had a feeling there was a correct way for them to be put together! Smart! 😉

[@jeffreybowerman]

Dude DUDE THANK YOU!!! U made alot of sense to things that had me scratching my head.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching glad to help.

[@trackerbab]

It’s the first time that someone takes the time to explain the logic for the soot running dawn the centre of the pipes. Tks again

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment.

[@owenwalters7186]

im a solid fuel heating engineer, great video

[@katwestbrook846]

You actually really helped. We live on the slope side of a hill, and the earth moved a ton, so much to move the fireplace stack off center. That said, all
of a sudden, this “juice” came down from the ceiling box. If you have anymore advice, please do!

[@trillion4ever]

Fantastic draft demo - cured the myth about joint direction for me. Thank you!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patricksouthgaaccountabili5829]

I would of put the pipe opposite of how you did, im glad I u tubed your video, you taught this old retired operator a valuable lesson thanks.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

well Patrick im so glad i could help you out, i used to inspect chimneys back in the day.

[@richardwalkup2649]

WOW...Thank you sir. I would have never ever thought this was the way to install Wood Stove pipe. This should be the standard for all to install. Excellent Video. Thank you!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching Richard glad I could help.

[@katechampney756]

Kevin, well you probably just saved our lives. We have a cook woodstove with a magic heat unit. Its been installed for two years and its a mess of creosote to clean out. We installed the pipes the other way than you described here and for 2 years we have had to take it apart often to clean it out. Our fires have not been effective and we have had two chimney fires even. My husband went to a stove place because one of the pipes never seems to connect the way you say and they even crimped it for us hearing what we wanted to do. If someone just goes to get stove pipe they would automatically just install it the other way. Thanks so much!!!!

[@MrCheckitout123]

cook stoves are not great design. the anytime smoke travels thru angles it cools and leaves creosote. I clean my cook stove every 2 weeks during winter with a wood stove vacuum, self deigned scraper and metal putty knife. i used a 6inch wire pipe brush and 10' of fiber rod to clean pipe. Any time you have a stove that is hard to start and will not burn, the stove/pipe needs to be clean. as for burning out creosote, 1. heat fatigues metal, the hotter the pipe the more years you take off it life span. 2. if your stove pipe goes thru a roof or attic, how do you know that there is not a minor leak or defect that an ember travels into your rafter or attic, then your off to the races. 3. where do the ember travel outside your stove pipe, land on your roof or near by fuel source. things to think about...love my cook stove. but its heavy on maintenance

[@Rottiezucco1]

Perfect video & explanation! Direct and to the point covering all needed topics ( no rambling on & on) I wish all TH-cam “how to videos “ followed your direction 👍

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment glad I could help.

[@treylem3]

Excellent description of why it MUST be done this way. Thank you.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment glad to help.

[@DSteuber0352]

Buddy I'm glad I watched your video. My intuition was telling me to put the pipe in opposite of what you were saying because I assumed I would be belching smoke into my house. Thanks a million!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching and the comment glad to help.

[@MrWuhisn]

You have convinced me that the smoke is not an issue. Thanks.

[@doubled473]

Thanks man! I just bought a house that has a wood burning stove and I noticed the chimney pipe was installed like yours and I thought, oh no, smoke is going to come out of the pipe! I have a 24’ ceiling and was crappin’ my pants about the logistics around fixing my “improperly installed” stove pipe. What you’re saying here makes perfection sense. Thanks again!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and watching Double D.

[@davekirschner6539]

Thanks for the comment and watching Mike glad to help.

[@wordswritteninred7171]

@@Robinson-Homestead I am about to install as well, this coming week. Thank you for this info. We have a chimney. But we have to install from a new stove, to the ceiling. Where there is the chimney part, coming out of the ceiling. Hoping we install everything correctly. Can't afford a professional install. SO, I take it that you are not supposed to put any sealant on the pipe sections? I seen some type of sealant for sale. Wondering what it is for.

[@carmenvilleneuve5482]

Hey , great video
My neighbor said I did my stove pipe install wrong .
I was second guessing myself but your explanation was clear and perfect
Thanks

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad it helped Carmen.

[@trackerbab]

Thanks for video, I should have watched before I was told that my pipes were backwards so I started to reverse the direction but that advice was not correct. You have it right.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

If you need help let me know thanks for watching Bernie.

[@robinhood5951]

Great video much appreciated the explanation of why it goes this way, it's not intuitive as you would look at it and think it should go the other way, really good job thank you.

Very good information being shared in a relatable and easy to follow and understand way. Thank you so much!

Have you seen my new homestead channel th-cam.com/channels/m3w8QDIiRB0U-MGVgaQ_DA.html

[@michaelvangundy226]

I had a house that was sealed so tight that the gaps were a problem. When somebody turned on the dryer, a bathroom fan, or the kitchen exhaust fan it would suck smoke into the house. I had to start cracking a window when using the stove.

[@stefanmeyers2808]

@@michaelvangundy226 maybe a fresh air supply directly to your stove from outside would help. Some stoves have a spot to connect fresh air.

[@GryphonFootball-uv6ml]

I took apart my stove pipe (to clean it) and reinstalled it today, but it didn't make sense to me that the female end would go outside the male end on the way up from the stove. I thought the previous owners had screwed up...until I saw this video. Thanks my man!
