If you know you are going to be drilling through thin metal with a hole saw, try this first. Get a scrap piece of wood larger than your hole. Maybe 3/4" thick. Plywood or solid, does not matter. Drill a hole. Remove the slug from the hole saw. Stick a pencil through the center hole in the slug and metal and use some drywall screws and attach to the siding or metal. Remove pencil. Drill your hole. The drill bit is really not necessary now and the slug is the exact inside diameter of the saw so no walking.

Code for venting anything is typically 3 feet off the ground. If you get drifting snow its going to block that vent that close to the ground.

You could just have drilled from the out side in

Any horizontal run should have 1/4 inch upward slope per foot, not angled downward.

It is bad advice to run a pellet stove straight out because if the electricity goes out and the pellet stove goes out, smoke will enter through the stove. If you have at least a three or 4 foot rise on the outside it eliminates that so a rise is necessary.

You Need a horizontal rise outside about 3ft bud at least lol

Should never have a drop horizontally through the wall. It should be level if not rise slightly. Should also have a minimum vertical rise of at least 3 ft preferably 5 ft to assist in venting before terminating vent. No cleanout??

Nice to see ,but please drill more horizontal then you did . And a lot higher output .

What kind of pellet stove did you use? Love the simple venting you did, perfect for a shop

Too damn much math. Go outside, between ribs, and drill the damn hole to the inside...

Nice and level?

Just got this same stove and wanna do the straight out the wall set up like you did have you had any issues with the way you set it up? Thanks!

Hello, if your getting a smoke smell in your house after first day of firing the stove up, what would your steps be to see where its coming from?

Love you shop. I find the outside vent is a bit low. Here in Ontario Canada the higher the vent the better to prevent snow blockage. Liked the video.

How much smoke do it put out?

Not far enough from the garage outside

Where is your clean out T?

Why didn't you just drill from the outside in...?😊

Does the vent make the outsde wall black from sooting?

It will work but it needs a pipe going up 3 ft

Whatever this guy did do the opposite !!! People came here for an education and they got scammed. Kinda like college but all they lost was time Hopefully they don't burn their house down !!

U really went cheap on the chimney! What about a clean-out??? What about a little rise to get the exhaust off the ground?? Oh well! to each his own!! I did give U a like cause of my BS.

I could see the math on your EYES

young man , u did complete wrong outside uor shop to close the ground !

I really like the info..but...you are not the star...I really hate when I look for info then a face appears...Personal preference but show me what you are doing !!
