Hello,
Thanks to all the information contributed by great people on the hearth.com site I made my decision and purchased a "Summers Heat 1500 Sq. Ft. Pellet Burning Stove" (Englander) from Lowes today to install in my basement. I will be hooking it up to an extra clay flue in my chimney that has never been used and is in excellent shape.
Englander recommends using Simpson Dura-Vent pipe but it doesn't look like Simpson offers a 3" masonry connection adapter (thimble) for a 6"' round connection.
The only one that I could find is made by Industrial Chimney Company (ICC) and is called the Excel excel Masonry Adapter (PAM) (broken link removed to http://www.icc-rsf.com/main.php?t=chem_produits&i=73&l=e&d=2&) . It looks like they are only sold through dealers that aren't conveniently located.
Does anybody have any other suggestions? I guess worse case is that I'll make the drive to pick up the ICC adapter. I understand that I would then have to use ICC for the other pipe components as it isn't good to mix and match.
Thanks!
Paul
