If a stove has a opening of 6 inches out of the back. Should the stove pipe be 6 inches all the way to the chimney and or all the way up thru the roof?

pacman, each wood/coal furnace/stove is built to preform at top notch..keep the same size all the way...even larger is not the answer..you will mess with the draft that is needed to operate said wood furnace,stove...that's my 2 cents worth..DW

My heater outlet is 6", and my pipe through the roof is 10", and it works great. Great draft.
I hope your interior dimension is 6 inch not 10 inch.. DW going thur the roof must be insulated and have air space which might be 10 inch...I have 6 inch ID and have 8 inch OD...this makea a diff. DW
ID on the pipe through the roof is 10". It is the insulated pipe. Not sure of the OD. I had to have a custom 10"-6" adapter made. I closed off an old fireplace and placed a cabinet style heater in front of the hearth.
Good luck with that..watch that you don't build up tons of soot or creosote..In my state (mi) codes would make us reline the chimney with stainless the same size as the pipe leading into the chimney...enjoy the wood heat DW opcorn:
Why would that be any more of a problem than any other size? I have awesome draft.

mattmc...it just is not going to get all the smoke out of the chimney as quickly as the proper size all the way up...this will create circulation of exhaust within the larger chimney..loosing heat will create creosote..please, i am not telling you what to do just be careful of creosote and chimney fires.Over-Sized Flue. For wood stove venting systems, bigger is not better.
An excessively-large chimney flue requires more heat to keep warm, and cools more quickly than a properly-sized flue. Lower flue gas temperatures in large flues cause reduced draft, increased creosote buildup (since the smoke tends to cool and condense in the flue), and the potential for smoking problems, especially when the fire is not burning high. enjoy the wood heat DW
Most residential chimneys have 8" x 8" flue liners, using a 6" thimble at da wall.
Yah, that IS older construction!...was having another 50+gezzer moment, please forgive me, and pass the Viagra please!
