How not to do it!!!!!!  First of all;  to run the "thimble" thru a window without proper support, and you cannot see it in the picture, but the horizontal section is pitched downward to the vertical chimney!!!!  OMG!!!!  I can't imagine how this thing is set up on the inside........ :duh:   Darwin award nominee perhaps??? :cookoo: post-7-0-42095100-1395521664_thumb.jpg

Maybe he had it set up to drain the crosote into the barrel under the chimney??

I dunno.....................I'll bet that set up doesn't draft worth a crap.  Check out the window sill with the creosote stains on it!!!

More money than brains atleast, all stainless pipe!

That's the SuperVent brand from Menards..................I can tell by the chimney cap, as mine is the same.  Each 3 foot section runs about $65.  A  set up with a thimble thru a wall (or window in this case) requires a stainless "T" and stainless chimney pipe up from there..............which he does have.  Thing is, he doesn't have the proper chimney support or bracing, and I'm sure running a thimble or horizontal stove pipe out a window to a T isn't up to fire code.

 

As I said prior................I can only imagine how this is on the inside.

Probably hooked up to an old vogelzang! I never seemed to be very impressed with their stuff as not much of them seem to be airtight! Probably why you see all the soot! lol, it rolls out from inside!

Burning wet wood more likely.
