    Feb 2, 2007. #3. Duravent GS (the pipe you linked to) is Direct Vent gas pipe. If your venting a wood stove you need class A chimney going up the side of the house. (Duravent builds Duratech chimney and DuraPlus chimney) The chimney must extend 3' beyond the roof line and be 2' higher than anything within 10'.
