Re: [Strawbale] How to run chminey through strawbale wall?

[Andrew Morrison <Andrew@StrawBale...>]

Hi Dirk. If you have not already received an answer for this...here's 
mine. Simply box it out. Frame a small box with the required setbacks 
from the pipe manufacturer. Place that in the wall and run the pipe 
through. Follow the setback requirements for insulation type and 
location and insulate accordingly. Run the box the full width of the 
bales so that it can be well anchored into the wall and does not require
 any straw stuffing around it. I suggest you use plywood on both sides 
(if allowed by the specifications) and cut the specified sized hole in 
it. This way you can insulated the box and it won't fall out. in 
addition, you can cover the plywood with roofing felt and lath and 
plaster straight over it. Good luck.

Hi all,

I'd like to know a safe way to run a woodstove chimney horizontally through a strawbale wall.  I'm using a double walled stainless steel chimney (3cm mineral insulation between the two shells).

Thanks for the tips,
Dirk
