Stove pipe is leaking smoke into the house.

Idk, I'm just concern that the op is getting smoke inside the house through joints, but also see smoke coming out the chimney, I saw the pics and thought the crimped ends should be facing down not up assuming it was single wall pipe. I really thought maybe the smells and smoke was liquid creosote dripping back to the stove and seeping into the joint, being the pipe was hot it was burning off at the seem and that's why there was smoke coming through, to me the pics look like an adjustable elbow because its large and off centered, the elbow dives into other black pipe and I see crimped ends so o thought it was single wall * I'm on the stupid phone right now so please excuse the spelling and grammar, thanks

Thanks for all the advice and help. Changed and cleaned the piping and the mesh screen cap was clogged. That was the issue. Stove is running fine now. Thanks

Awesome, good you're back up and running. It will be tough this year so keep your eye on it and see if you can get some wood drying for next year. It will make a big difference.

Glad that was the issue. Third cap clog this week. Happens every winter. I'd switch to double wall for the connector to keep the flue gases hotter. And I would run the stove hotter. In milder weather burn smaller, shorter hot fires instead of long, slow fires. And by all means think about getting next season's wood now, or better yet, yesterday.
