pellet stove question

any one know can you use same forced air furnace veting on a pellet stove?? thinking about remove furance from cabin and install a pellet–but wondering if can use same venting system??? thanks

I have mine ducted into my cold air return on my furnace. the pellet stove only blows out the front so I made a metal “funnel” for lack of a better word to direct the warm air into 6″ duct work. You could then put an inline electric fan to boost the flow. Good luck.

A pellet stove itself would need to be modified to work that way. I pellet furnace may be what you want, they duct just like a gas furnace and can use the same duct. We heat with two free standing pellet stoves, work good but takes maint so don’t be fooled by the sales guys who say they are set and forget. Good info at hearth.net fwiw.

I would look at the pellet stove you are considering purchasing. The venting installation specs should be available on line. I am in WI, so our codes are a little bit different from what it sounds like.

If I am understanding what wiwalleye is saying, he is taking the air to be blown into the room and forcing it into his air ducts. You would not want to exhaust vent your stove in that manner.

And Czech is almost spot on in his analyses, regarding the venting, though again in WI, you should only use the venting that is allowed by the stove manufacturer in your situation.

Lastly, of course if it is in your own home, you can do what you want.

yeah its a 24 x 26 lil cabin is all–just looking to take out propane furance and install a pellet stove for heat–nothing too fancy or anything like that–just wondering if possible??–thanks

Take a look at this video, you connect the pellet stove to water boiler using a kit that you can buy. This guy is in MN.
