Q: I want to install my own pellet vent chimney system but don’t know where to start.
Start first by determining what size of chimney your pellet stove requires, pellet vent pipe is available in 3" and 4" diameters. This information is in the instruction manual of your pellet stove. Never go smaller than what is required or you risk having smoke or gasses backing up or a poor draft in other words.
Determine the layout or installation type that is applicable to your home. For pellet vents, the most popular installation is thru-the-wall terminating outside versus a straight-up installation and is relatively inexpensive.
Once you determine the above requirements you will need to choose a manufacturer and brand of the chimney (many manufacturers offer several brands within a type).
Q: Which manufacturer or brand should I go with?
A: There are several brands available, we recommend Dura-Vent PelletVent Pro for new installations due to their reputation, warranty, product offering, availability, and price. Our Website displays “customers choice” manufacturers & brands for Pellet Vent Pipe.
Q: What is the difference between PelletVent and PelletVent Pro?
