Hi All, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
I've searched the Forum in an attempt to get an answer to my question but really didn't find what I was looking for so I'll ask here.
My wife and I are building a new home and have purchased a Jotul F 500 wood stove. I installed a double wall Class A chimney through a chase and when I installed the storm collar used a product called Lexel to seal it since I had it on hand and it is superior to silicone for sealing and adhesion. It is a polyurethane based product. Later, I looked at the specifications for the product and learned that it should not be used where temperatures exceed 200 degrees F. Too late smart I guess.

So, here is the question: what temperature can I expect the outside of the double wall chimney pipe to reach at the storm collar, approximately 25 feet above the stove? Is a sealant that can withstand only 200 degrees F sufficient?
Thank you for your responses in advance.
