I don't understand the question. Has anybody used what? Chimney pipes in a living area or a woodstove in a living area?

Chimney Pipes in the living area.

Anyone who has a wood stove in the living area has to have chimney pipes going to the chimney.

Most are just tin 6 or 8 inch pipes.

I put one in this year. Chimney pipe is kind of expensive. Buy a kit that contains thimble, flashing, supports, cap and a few other pieces. Follow directions closely, most importantly clearance to combustibles. The kit comes with fairly good directions, but no chimney pipe. Follow instructions on how many sections to buy. Use single wall flue inside, and triple wall in attic and above.

I have many. Some might upset a code guy.

Our house had five chimneys when we got it. Three are downstairs and the chimneys run through the 1st floor ceilings. Originally they were extremely unsafe. Just little steel thimbles with maybe 2" of air space. I changed them over to modern pass-throughs with 6" or air space all around and a piece of triple-wall stainless where it actually passes through. The other two chimneys start upstairs and are on top of 1800s vintage chimney closets.

If you have a stove in your living area - plain black single wall pipe is fine until you get near combustibles. It throws off a lot of heat which I assume you want.

Could you add some vents through the first floor?
That would let the warm air rise into the living area.

You have to use insulated chimney pipe but thousands of people have wood stoves in their living room. You usually have to go 3 ft. above the peek of the house outside as well so it gets a little expensive.

We have Selkirk metalbestos, seems to work very well, we also have a double wall telescoping pipe from the stove to the ceiling. Very expensive but works well and looks good. SS and guaranteed forever.

Insulated pipe, double walled when it goes through ceilings and roof. Black cheap pipe until it gets there.
No offense, but its pretty elementary.

I have a wood stove in a room off of the kitchen. This is our only heat, except for a heater in the bathroom. When I put in our stove I used metalbestos stainless steel double insulated pipe. The pipe goes 90 degrees into my garage and up. This pipe is 40 years old, and has held up well, exxcept for the cap which I replaced this year. It was rather pricy, but would recommend it. I see in on ebay also. Stan
