Hi all,

I'm looking to make a firewood chute into my basement through a window,
and I need to pass down wood size up to 11x13" (the size of my furnace
door).

I was considering a length of something like 14-16" diameter PVC pipe.
Wood slides down PVC very easily and even a slight angle, so I can make
it long, maybe 15' long. Not sure if one person can handle that kind of
pipe though - how much does it weigh and what kind of wall thicknesses
are available.

I'm in central NJ if anyone knows of a place around here that sells it.

I have used 14" PVC and yes you should be able to handle it.

As for where you can buy it, I would start at Ferguson plumbing supply
(they have several outlets in NJ). If they don't have it, I bet they
know who does. Might need to go through a plumber to actually purchase
it...a lot of those places don't sell to the public.

If you just need a little piece looking on the side of the road where
they are fixing storm drains may be your best bet. They will usually
give you a cutoff piece for free. It is pricy if you have to buy it
and I doubt you need 20 feet.

If you're open to alternatives how about an open design like a coal
chute, basically a sliding board. Less likely to jam than pipe and
easily cleared if it does.

Anyway, ASTM D1785 "Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)
(PVC) Plastic Pipe" lists 16" sched 40 PVS as 16" OD, 0.5" wall
thickness, and 154 lbs per 10 ft length
--
For every complicated, difficult problem, there is a simple, easy
solution that does not work.

14" PVC might be hard to find. It comes in 2" increments from 4" to 12"
size. After that the increments are 3". Therefore it would be much easier
to find a 15" or 18" than the one for which you are looking.
