I am going to purchase my liner setup from Woodland Direct most likely. They have the "fast and easy connection system", which looks almost like a hose clamp. How do these perform? Also, I still need to secure the tee to the stove and the cap on the bottom of the tee. What size fasteners do most of you use? I saw these on fastenal, would that be a good pick?

If you are using lightwall liner it has to be attached with the band clamp style fasteners. The metal simply isnt thick enough to hold screws or rivets. As far as the tee cap and snout to stove connection any stainless sheetmetal screws will work we use 1/4" head self tappers 1/2" long for the teecap if it needs to be removable stainless rivets if not. And 3/4" long for the stove collar usually works but sometimes they need to be longer.
