"Temporary Chimney" Questions

Here is the deal. I would like to put a hand feed coal stove in my shop and vent it into a masonary chimney. Problem-I don't have the chimney yet! So here is what was thinking and wanted to get some advice from your guys.
I was thinking of taking out a window sash and making up a wall section to take it's place. Then I would get a wall thimble and vent the out and up to an appropiate height. I would just use regular black vet pipe to get me through this season.
Thoughts??
Also I have a KA-2 in the house and I notice that the temp on the flue pipe is about 125F @ about 18" from the boiler. Would a hand fed stove be hotter or about the same.
Thanks,
Tom

Kungur, Hand FIRED--FIRED I say Your plan will work fine my friend & yes black pipe will do the job nicely. Are you going to put in a MPD?? Over hot pipe should not be a problem I can put my hand on the pipe of my Hitzer above the MPD( 3' up from stove body), all winter. What make stove ya lookin at?? I'd advise putting a cap on top, and yes, I know you knew that.

I'm looking at a Jotul or an older Warm Morning. Both are more tall and would not tak up much floor space.

you could use a wall thimble or just take out the window and use a sheet of 30gauge sheet steel (16" all around min.) to fill the hole. Cheaper, faster, and easier than the thimble and just as safe. That pipe could be 400º and the thin sheet metal 10" away will be cool to the touch.

Follow the following rules for your installation - same rules for wood or coal-

I would do as Berlin suggests. You will have to devise support brackets though. Also use galvanized pipe which is cheaper and more durable as well as easier to work.

I woke up last night think"I am going to need some type of support"!
Also i will have to devise a "stand-off" to keep the flue pipe away from the barn siding and yet support it from the prevailing winds.

I tried the black pipe outside would not keep a draft in cold weather due to pipe getting to cold. Must use the triple wall outside or you will have nothing but problems!

Can you find a long piece of 6 inch or larger well casing? By long I mean from the ground to well above the eaves?

I haven't had a problem with draft on single wall pipe used as described, but if it becomes an issue, wrap it with fiberglass insulation unfaced. it will look like *censored*, but it will be cheap and get the job done; if it gets wet it will boil out the water pretty quickly.

When I had the Direct Vent hooked up I did essentially the same thing, except I used a piece of Durarock that I had laying around instead of sheet metal.

I'm using 26 feet of single wall black pipe for a chimney until I can put up double wall chimney. No drafting issues so far. Seems that the colder it gets outside, the better the draft is. I'm not sure how the pipe getting cold influences anything. Been down to 23 degrees a couple nights. I suppose at some point though there has to be some influence from the pipe getting cold. Maybe when trying to choke down the fire for an extremely slow burn. So far I'm very pleased with the single wall. We will see how it goes thru the winter.
