Stove to Stovepipe Connection

[ckenni33]

Fairly new to burning wood, second winter approaching. Recently put a new stovepipe on and the connection between the stove and pipe has some small gaps between them. Is the common or should I be a able to see no light down through the edges of the pipe and stove?

Just my opinion - no expert.

I would say no light, light = leaks. Fill with furnace cement.

Yes. Go to your local hardware and buy some furnace cement. Cement the pipe well and then also screw it into place. Also read the directions; the furnace cement should be cured.
