I took a 8 inch stainless liner out of an old air cooled tripple wall. It looks beautiful. Id like to use it in the place of black pipe on my stove. Any reason why this would be a bad idea. The gauge seems a little lighter than black pipe. But still pretty solid. Any thoughts?

Eventually the stainless will discolor due to the higher heat coming out of the stove collar, check out some of the discoloring that occurs with people flex liners in there chimney. If you can live with that then install away
It would blue and brown out like the pipes on a Harley! I believe there is a minimum gauge of metal required for pipe.
