Does the height of the woodstove outpipe need to be lower than the flu hook up?

Answer 1

Not realy it can be level or Lower.The smoke pipe pitching up away from the stove is best(heat rises).

Answer 2

Heat rises. No piping should be angled downwards. The flue should be above the firebox and the piping from it should go upwards until it leaves the building. When starting a wood fire, prepare your pile of wood, light a piece of paper and hold it inside the firebox to allow a draft to start and then light the wood.

Answer 3

If you don't know call a professional,could be a matter of life or death.
