Some of you may have seen my other post regarding swapping out the existing 6" stovepipe for 8" (and also correcting for slight downhill pitch on the horizontal part) on this stove:
I ran into one problem. Now be advised I have never messed with stove install stuff, been around stoves most of my life but never installed them. My issue is I cant get 8" pipe (cut end) into the thimble. Just to check I also cant fit it in the stove collar. Right now I have the crimped end of the pipe into the stove collar wich leaves the flush end going to the thimble. After pulling apart the PO's pipe I see they had an elbow that was crimped on both ends, so the crimped end of the pipes were facing outward into the stove collar and thimble. My elbow just has 1 end crimped. I dont believe my local store had any other type of elbow. Is that something that might be commonly available elsewhere? Not sure what to do, no way its fitting without being a crimped end...
