Pellet stove exhaust

I don't know what kind of emissions the pellet stove puts out but that scenario doesn't look healthy for your chickens.

I can't seem to find the information I need on the safety of the emissions once it is outside.

Carbon monoxide is going to be the same as any other stove. May not be enough to kill them, but it's not healthy in any dose (replaces oxygen in the blood). I'd run a vertical pipe up to get it out of the space.

Anytime something is burned you get CO2 and H2O but there's also NOx, SO2, terpines and turpentine if pine woods are used, and particulates. Other chemicals are also present but in what quantities you don't know without an emission test.

We can add a vertical pipe. We just didn't want to if we didn't have to. The run is covered. So we will have to figure a way out of the run. Thanks for your input!

The less twist's and turns the better a straight up run is best.

I agree ...

Not good to leave as is.

Add a elbow, and go vertical.

Question - Does the stove have an exhaust fan? IOW does it blow the "smoke" out, or does the smoke just go out on its own, because heat rises (natural convection)?

Carbon monoxide is a by product of unburnt, or un-cleanly burnt carbon based fuels ... if it is burning right, there should be no carbon monoxide, however the smoke will be unpleasant on both yours, and the birds eyes & lungs ...

Wouldn't changing pipe configuration affect how stove burns?

Yep, that's what I stated earlier, twist's and bends slow down the drawl up the flue pipe.

Do stove pipes in TX have a drawl?
I think you mean draw....but I knew that.
Sorry, no offense intended, I'm a spelling nazi but love word play too.

Auto correct, again. No worries. I should spell check. And Yep, don't ya node everything in Texas has a drawl!
