I need some help from any of you guys heating with wood. I installed a wood stove almost twenty years ago in my place, burn about 12 face cords a year. I used the double wall insulated 8 inch pipe. It runs straight up from the wood stove through the ceiling, through an upstairs closet, and out the roof. I used all the proper flanges where the pipe goes through the ceiling and roof. I noticed while in the upstairs closet yesterday that the pipe was too hot to hold your hand on for than a couple of seconds. Don't know if its old age or what, but I can't remember if thats the way its always been or not. The outside of the pipe looks as good as the day I installed it, I clean the inside twice a year and that looks good too. My question is , can the insulation in the pipe deteriorate without any signs? Any of you guys want to grab hold of your chimney pipe and tell me how long you can hold on for? Thanks in advance Dave
