Replacing our incredibly sketchy wood stove with a gravity fed pellet stove.
Still mulling over how to replace the pipe on the roof, since the opening was built for a 7" pipe and the pellet stove requires a 3-4" pipe at most.
Heavily considering running the new pipe through the current one and paying someone to do it right next year.
I’m not familiar with pellet stoves, but would a converter work so you can reuse the old exhaust pipe in place?

Yes, but I need to make sure it doesn't increase the airflow by a very large margin, or it affects the stove in a very negative way (either burning dangerously hot, or causing smoke to go the wrong way, etc).
Mostly I need to inspect what's currently in place and see what fits where to figure out what I am doing.
