flue collar too high for flue

[joshu]

I guess I mismeasured. The new wood stove arrived and the flue collar is 5/8" too high for the flue it has to attach to. Is there any way to fix this other than adding two 15 degree elbows which would be expensive and also bring the stove too far into the room? Or cutting off the stove's legs?

What's behind the plate? Can that pipe just be moved up?

The black rectangular metal screwed into the brick would have to be taken off and moved up 5/8". Yes, that's a good idea. It'll be a thing to move it up, drilling into the brick again just a little bit above existing holes, but yeah, it's probably doable. Good thinking, thank you. Plus I get to see what's behind there. Scary.

Does the chimney have a full stainless liner to the top?

I don't remember the amount of offset but some companies offered an offset adapter. My Vermont Castings has one but my flue adapter is oval. What if you cut the tile/slate just where the legs sit and dropped it down that way.

It does, yes.
