Been searching forums and googling my life away for about a week and still can't find a resolution so thought I would post to the community and see if anyone can help/advise.
I was just gifted with a new us stove 5660 pellet stove. We currently have a vermont castings aspen which is fine but we are anxious to install the new toy and keep the woodstove as a backup... this is key. We currently have an existing brick and mortar chimney in the center of our house with snap lock pipe to the thimble and from there it has a 6" clay liner that is a 9' vertical rise from the thimble... according to the manufacturer this is fine for venting purposes and does not need a liner. I am just not having any luck finding an adapter to go from the double wall 3" pellet pipe to the existing 6" snap lock type thimble and I dont know where else to look. Yes I could line the chimney but I dont really want to do this because I intend to keep the woodstove and a cord of dry wood handy in the event we should require heat with no electricity aval. IE move the pellet stove and reconnect the aspen should the need arise. Duravent makes the 3 to 6" adapter but it is for double walled pipe on the 6" end so that is not going to work unless there is something to go from the snap lock to double walled side of the adapter(http://www.homedepot.com/p/DuraVent...let-Vent-Chimney-Pipe-Adapter-3074/100679686#).
Am I trying to do the impossible here or is there some secret society that only gives access to the required adapter if you know where to look for it...
Thanks for any advice/help
