Wood Stove Pipe Buyer's Guide

If you're in the market for a wood stove, you need to know which parts are important for making the product work. One of those parts is a major component of the ventilation system - the piping! Without stovepipe, you'd be venting exhaust directly into your home.

In this article, we dive into what you need to know when searching for the right wood stove pipe for your wood stove. We'll also tell you the difference between stove pipe and chimney pipe. Some other areas we cover include top brands, installation parts, and maintenance tips.

What is Stove Pipe?

A wood stove pipe moves exhaust fumes and particulates from your wood burning stove to the outside of your home. Often called a chimney connector or black stove pipe, you can choose between single or double walled stove pipe to vent your wood stove. Either option can bridge the gap between your appliance and the chimney pipe system.

So, when is stove pipe needed? If you have a wood burning stove, you'll need stove pipe as well. It's just that simple. Most stoves do not come with stove vent pipe unless noted otherwise. You'll almost always need to buy the stovepipe separately.
