Hi guys, first time posting here and have a question. I have a wood stove in my basement. It used to go right through the wall to a brick chimney. The brick chimney was taken down a few years ago and I want to put up a stainless steel chimney in its place. The interior pipe stove is all intact going to the base of the old chimney. The base sits about 6" high and it is 21"x16" with the opening in it being 14"x9". I was looking for some type of base plate that would be attached to the masonry base and the pipe could attach to that? I saw an achor plate by metalbestos that looked like what I wanted but it said it could only support 7' of pipe and I need 24'. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome. The site has been slammed this month. Sometimes all questions don't get answered the first time around. Hang in there, all you need to do is bump the thread.
I'm a little confused, is the stub of the chimney 6" high or 6' high? From what I've read my first response would be to remove the rest of the chimney and do a clean installation from scratch rather than trying to cobble in something. That way you know exactly what your parts and clearances are and it will likely be easier to clean. Starting from scratch may also provide better options for stove location.
Is this stove just to heat the basement or more than that? Basement heaters are not ideal if the intent is to heat the whole house. But sometimes if there is a large open staircase going to the basement, locating the stove near it will work.
