Hi, if someone can indulge me. I have a 6" through the roof box, but I won't have the wood stove in anytime soon. What is the cap called that I can purchase to close off the chimney temporarily? Photo attached. I found 6" pipe cap at Lowes online but it says it's for 8" pipe? Can I use a ventilation 6" galvanized end cap?

Yes, that could work.
