Question
I have a wood burning stove I want to pipe into a chimney that needs to be built.  There is a damper on the stove.  The chimney is just going to have a hole for the pipe.  what should the size of the base be and is anything I need to do to get a good draw.

Answer
Hello Doug, from what you state I am not sure what you are asking? What size should the chimney be? what size the base under the stove should be? all of this info should be in the owners manual, follow that and you should be fine also check with your local building department.
