Picking up a new Wood add on furnace today.
http://www.vogelzang.com/Norseman2500.htm
I plan on putting it in the attached photo location.
It will go in the addition, on the far side away from the house. Near the center of the room (front to back) So, close to the ridge.
There are 10′ 8″ ceilings. I will go with 6″ black stovepipe up to the ceiling.
I would like to build a chase As an exterior termination, to kinda match the existing.
I’m guessing I could run stainless Double, triple, Or the non insulated triple like is used with my existing fireplace. That is the jist of my question – what would be the best to run through the attic space and terminate through the chase?
Secondly, Is there some situation going on here that will cause a draft issue?
I am going with the 3′ for 10′ , but will the mass of the house ( being adjacent and higher) cause some kind of problem?
Those are the basics. I’ve run and rerun vents in the past, but they usually had determining factors on choice of material / method. This is open to whatever I want – so what’s best?

Use Metalbestos or equivalent insulated chimney with the proper support and termination. Run it as straight as possible. Make it as easy as possible to clean. Those furnaces burn dirty since they idle a lot.

It's a minimum of 3' or 2' above anything within 10' horizontally.

Gotcha, that's the way I was leaning.
Just wanted to pass it by you and Pif before i jumped.
Passed 3 of those wood burning sheds this morning on the way to work. Truck has one in the back and two on a trailer. The trailer had been modified with an overhead girder to lift the shed and presumably drop it just behind the trailer.
I've never been excited by the shed idea... something about having to go OUT in the weather to stoke it. And I don't think they're terribly efficient. jt8

Those things burn really dirty. XW's uncle had one and his neighbors complained so much about the smoke he had to get rid of it. And he lived in the middle of 20 acres as did his neighbors.http://www.quittintime.com/ View Image
>>>Those things burn really dirty.I've heard that said of outdoor boilers, which many people feed green wood; hence the smoke. But the forced air furnaces, if fed well seasoned wood, do much better. There are a few in my neighbourhood and they burn every bit as clean as my EPA stove (again, if fed dry wood; it's all about the wood).Scott.

"it's all about the wood)."
Heh, heh. yep.
Picked up the stove and vent materials today.
Rained as soon as I got em' back here.
Ended up with dbl insulated stainless Supervent for ceilingl to termination.
thanks again.
It'll take a while to tandem it up to the furnace. Sheetmetal and electricity.http://www.quittintime.com/ View Image
It could. But I'm not gonna. Lotsa reasons.
You can watch it from this point on over at QT.
Thanks again.
I would carefully read the mfg. directions. When I installed mine I remember detailed specs on when to use single wall vs. triple/insulated vents.
