Hi all,
First post. I've searched these forums for this info, but can't find it.
There used to be a kind of cast-iron grate/register/flange stovepipe feedthrough. I don't actually know what they're called. I live in Vermont and most homes with wood cookstoves have them. They are two to three feet in diameter with a hole for the stovepipe that's a little bigger so it doesn't come into direct touch with the pipe.
For 25+ years we've been living with a 24x24 square hole in the ceiling with some decorative aluminum flashing set back from the pipe. But we're moving the cookstove back and making some changes, and would finally like to make that hole look good and still be in the style of the house (1904 cape).
Our cookstove runs enamel steel pipe for two floors, then adapts to metalbestos (or again whatever it's called these days) on its way up through the attic and ceiling.
Are these or something similar to these grates still made? I find nothing like them from any stovepipe supplier now, and just a few items like them on eBay.
Thanks,
Dennis
