We have a 1997 Martin DV4 LP fire place in a double wide and would like to replace it this summer with a ârealâ heat producer like a wood stove or pellet stove. Since we own 1500 acres of pine plus are located in the middle of the Black Hills National Forest free fire wood is abundant so weâll probably lean that way. Plus if the prison inmates are in the area they cut & load it for us!
My question: since the gas thing has a complete chimney through the roof would it be OK to pull it out, install the stove sort of in and sort of out of the hole left over then pass the exhaust up through the existing piping but using triple wall stove piping?
The blue prints show it as 4â all the way up but not if itâs single, double or triple wall piping.
Itâs a âzero clearanceâ model but the ownerâs manual doesnât state the pipe design, do zeros use any special type of piping?
The manufacturer was no help as they only sell them to the mobile builder and donât install them nor offer any support for them.
Thanks for any insight you may have or be able to provide.
