If you choose to install a stove yourself, the most difficult part can be moving a 250 to 500 lb unit from your vehicle to the final installation place. Connection to an approved flue is easy.
Choose the quality and type of pipe you would like to use. The most common is 24g steel pipe. Upgrading to double wall and or stainless steel venting will last longer, can reduce some clearances to combustibles, and looks better. All normal pipe pieces are stocked and available for purchase.
If your installation requires a chimney liner, a stainless steel flexible, seamless liner will
be in order. The height of your existing chimney will determine the cost of
your new chimney liner. Installation of a chimney liner will be made easier
with the help of another person.
