What have ya’ll used to simulate stove pipe outside of a wall? I am just about through with a bakery and need to add a stove pipe through the wall. They got to have heat! What have you used?
I’ve always used brass tubing from Special Shapes and painted flat black. I have a jewelers saw and I’ll cut out wedge sections so I can form a bend by soldering it back together. Can also be cut with a thin separating disc.

Ron, I have used a hardwood dowel rod for one of my projects. here is a pic of it. If you cant see it very well I could take another pic of it.
I drilled a hole same size in the wall, then cut a 45 angle on the piece coming out. The piece going up 45 angle on it with wood glue. to fasten it to the side at the peak. I used a piece of wire wrapped half way then twisted it the drill small hole at the top and glue in place. the top is capped off with a coned shaped"vent". I painted it a flat black…
Also on the elbow of the pipe i used a pencil to add the bend marks into it. it showed up ok …
i just use drinking straws.
the kind, that can be bent.
pushing the bending spot as short as possible, than filling in some white glue. that makes for a realistic and permanent bends in any angle, i want.
edit. i spray-paint them with some silvery paint, then add rust colour. - or i just spray them with dull black.
All good suggestions
Ron,
Here’s my yard office shack and the stove pipe is a carriage bolt.
Ron, I’m a straw man myself, straight from the slurpee store…cheap and easy. However, my detail work is all under a porch; yours may not be. Dan DeVoto’s carriage bolt looks very durable!
Not sure what look you are after Ron but for my pellet stove exhaust I used evergreen styrene and tubing (pic is terrible )
If you don’t want to build one, JS Woodcrafts sells one:
Scroll down to “Smoke Jack” in the link below.
Mine might be a bit out of scale; it’s some PVC conduit cut on a 45 and glued back together. I also wrapped one with aluminum tape, but I liked the black one best. Top is a furniture glide…
That’s illegal John…it has no escutcheon where it exits the wall on Wall
I cut some brass tube and just soldered it together…
Good Lord and I thought John’s was illegal !
Salmons Produce ?
Edit : just cause I thought it needed it
It’s not illegal. I’ve never been cited…(for THAT).(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
I am assuming the lower sash is stored nicely in the basement in case the codes officer show up !
All these are good suggestions. The bakery will have two stove pipes, one for the living quarters and one for the store. I look forward to seeing the finished product with the pipes!
Rooster, your side vent idea would be a good add on feature on the side of a house. As in dryer vent if the house had a chimney.
Some times rather than using an elbow where the pipe heads up people use a “T” with the extra leg facing down. This was capped and used as a clean out to get all that creosote from burning green wood out of the vertical pipe.
Not sure what the fire chief would say, but unless the folks living upstairs in Bruce’s place like breathing wood smoke, the smoke pipe should go well above the roof!

The codes officer traveled to Jackson once, but apparently never arrived. He was never seen again. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
