The lower temperature condensation will drip creosote down the pipe. Creosote can often be in liquid form when the stove pipe is cooling and the fire is dying down. The greater concern is creosote leakage through the wood stove pipe connection points. The pressure of the draft will be moving too fast for smoke to work through the seam. Some are concerned that the smoke can leak out of the pipe seams - however it will not. This may sound backwards considering the direction in which the flue gas is traveling. Also, the wood stove pipe should always be inserted into the collar of the wood stove outlet. The male end of the stove pipe for wood burning should always point down and/or pointing at the stove. Failure to properly install the stove pipe can cause creosote to leak out of the pipe and can be a very unpleasant experience. Freestanding wood stoves require double wall or single wall stove pipe to connect the stove to the chimney or chimney pipe. We explain in the video how this is done.Wood burning is a great way to save some money on your heating bills and also is enjoyable to sit around and watch the fire.
