Stove Pipe Outlet Installation

• Diagram of a typical stove installation

• Stovepipe outlet installation instructions

  We highly recommend Dura-tech stove pipe made by Simpson Dura-vent. It is a brand most reputable retail stove outlets will carry. There are helpful instructions on page 16 of the DuraTech Chimney Installation Guide. They fall under the heading of Tee-supported Installations. You will need to adapt them slightly for your yurt, but it will give you a good general idea of the process.
