Okay, I know this topic has come up before on a few threads. I have always been unhappy with the way the stove adapter attached to the stove. It is not really snug and there is no way to use screws (in my opinion) without damage or screwing up the adapter... I also don't like the fact that the outer wall does not sit flush to the stove...
Anyhow, my idea is to buy the shortest piece of adjustable pipe ( i think it is 6") and only use the top piece of that. This way, I get a very snug fit because it does not have the crimped end and it will sit flush with the stove...
Any debates? I know in one post I read that the adapter is not supposed to be flush with the stove because it won't allow air to cool the pipe. I do not believe this is the case because the pipe does sit flush with the wall thimble. And when I contacted duravent about my adapter not sitting flush, they said it all depends on the stove manufacturer and stove collar. They did not say anything about an air gap and neither do the instructions.
