RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / Re: tall chimney next to barn

« on: January 16, 2015, 10:52:14 AM »

Hey Vincent, my barn is 32' x 48' with a 12' lean to on one side. About the same as yours.

The peak of my barn is over 20' tall. I am a little concerned about having a chimney that is shorter than the peak but I don't want a flagpole of a chimney sticking up in the air either. The predominent wind is out of the west here and the stove wood be on the west side of the barn. Should I be concerned if I have a shorter chimney with the wind hitting the roof and blowing it over?

My insurance company says I need to be 40' from any building. I plan on putting it next to the barn but it will be 75' from the house.

RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / tall chimney next to barn

I plan on getting a Ridgewood 6000 soon. I would like to place it under my lean to on my barn. The front of the stove would be under the roof with the back sticking out. I would have plenty of room to keep my wood pile under there and it would be nice for loading the stove on rainy days. But I'm worried about how high a chimney I would need. If I use the "3' higher than the roof at 10' away from the chimney rule", my chimney will have to be 12' to 14' tall. Any suggestions?
