I have a Godin 3720 coal stove that was recently passed down to me from my father. I would like to install it in my living room. Ideally I would like to have the vent go through an exterior wall. Can anyone let me know what type of vent pipe to use, and do I need to do any floor or wall fire protection under or behind the stove. My building department is requiring I have some kind of documentation but all of the web sites I have found are in French. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Godin 3720 Venting

Hi and welcome to the Forum.
If everyone here had some more details about your plan. Do you have an existing chimney for the stove? If not there are options. There are plenty of people here to help you with whatever questions or concerns you might have.
So ask away!

The 3730 is the same as your stove. If your house is single story then it is better to go straight up rather than out side wall. If yours is two story then you have no choice. Yes you do need floor protection and also wall protection if you want to install closer to wall.

I do not have an existing chimney to run the venting up. My plan was to set it in the corner of my living room next to an exterior wall. It is a two story house so going straight up will be major work. I would like to go out the side wall. What type of piping do I need? Is b-vent good enough or do I need a triple wall pipe? Are there vent kits available for this stove? Once I get outside, do I need to run the vent above the roof line, or can I use a termination cap on the side wall?
Thank you
Thank you
Boy,
serious ?'s.
I would thing if you do want to install a masonry chimney then ya pretty much have no choice but to use S.S. insulated pipe and run it up past the roof line wich I am sure would be pricey, the joints of pipe are damn expensive let alone T's and caps.
anything Metal outside will rot in no time unless it is S.S.
ya need to get some sound advise from a GOOD contractor/installer of flues so ya don't install it wrong and void your homeowners in the event of a fire.
I am sure folks with more and better advise will chime in.

You need a class A chimney going all the way up and 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet. Yes there are through the wall kits available, not for this stove in particular but for a stove in general. Your local True Value hardware store can order for you or you can try Lowes. Either triple wall or double wall with insulation. Can cost $1000 depending on height.tamato wrote:I do not have an existing chimney to run the venting up.

The Godin I put in my mother's basement has a strange flue size. I had to make up a special adapter to use 5" pipe to get into an existing chinmey.
