I'd say get it out of there. It was probably part of what ever was used to clean the pipe & chimney at some time in the past. Probably came apart during a sweep...
It's actually attached to the stove itself. It has a 90 degree elbow on it that goes out of the back of the stove.
Okay. Never mind the cleaning statement. It must've been some sort of a home-brewed DHW system...Can you remove it & plug or cap the pipe where it exits the back?
Is your stove a Earth Stove? If so I believe it was an early attempt at secondary air. My old earth stove had everything you discribe except the vertical pipe. Are you sure it's galvanized?
