I can not get Icc localy so it would have to be ordered online. I know dynamite buys is wonderful, but they only sell pellet vent pro, and selkirk. I will have to think about this.

+1 on this, or should I say +2, for the installer of my Insert used ICC pipe, and I did my own install for my Enviro Maxx with ICC pipe without any leaks. The only silicone sealant that was used was at the stove adapter, as always. Metal tape, who needs no stinkin metal tape? ;-P
As noted ICC is designed and approved for mutlifuel use as well.

Pellet vent Pro is also Multi Fuel rated vent..
I have 3 Pellet vent Pro systems. One 4" that did need High Temp Tape on the clean-out T and also on both ends of the 90° up top (4 seams). But......
I also have Two 3" systems that dont leak and have no other means of sealing (RTV on adapter of course), other than the seals within the vent. One is direct vent (but doesn't go straight out, couple 45°'s inside) and the other is set up the same as the 4". It has clean out T, 5' vert, 90°, and then a few feet horizontal.
So, I cant say they are terrible. But, it is known to leak. One of mine does. Two dont.

The one thing to note is that you really have to crank on the pipes to get the pieces to lock together and get a proper seal. He has had no issues with smoke in the house.
I feel your pain it was a you know what getting it in the house!Looking great.
I have humped in several stoves over the many years we have lived here.
The last one I had to do by myself. I set up some crates outside a window and placed a 4x6 across them and used this as an anchor.
Lashed a snatch block that I keep in the old K5 Chevy Blazer to the timber and ran a good heavy rope through that and back to the stove and out to the rig.
The stove was bolted to a skid, just tied the rope to it and slid the beast up a couple 4x4's and into the house.
Once on the floor, I got it off onto a piece of heavy poly sheeting and then it slid across the carpet really easy, well almost easy.
The stove thats in my avatar is on the raised hearth in the family room now.
I took it all apart to lighten it up.
With the cast iron door off, the base off and everything else I could rip off, we carried the pieces in and I reassembled it on site.
This made it far easier to get the thing up onto the hearth without straining anyone or damaging the tile, stove or the suroundings
Large stoves can for sure be a PITA to move around the house.
I bought the display model for around 2600.00 brand new freestanding stove was 3600.00, so not sure but i imagine the inserts might be a little more with the front trim plate.how much is that unit?
My friend might be looking for that unit but insert version.
