stovepipe overlap with dropless smokepipe adapter

[RustyShackleford]

Any thoughts about how far one's stove pipe should overlap
the dripless smoke-pipe adapter (the thingy that comes out
the bottom of the chimney that the stove pipe slides over
the outside of) ?

I suppose the 1.5" to 2" for the stovepipe joints themselves
should be ok, but it's not quite the same kind of joint, and I'm
feeling it should be a bit more. Can't find any mention of it
in the Selkirk documentation.

The dripless adapter should go on the outside and generally most connections are between 1.5 and 2"

The dripless smokepipe adpt. should go to the inside of the smoke pipe. One thing to remember that the DSA (dripless smokepipe adpt.) acts as a slip joint when putting your together. I would cut it a max of 4" so you can slde the pipe up and back down into your stove. This makes removing the stovepipe for cleaning a simple task also.

Maybe I misread- should always go larger to smaller connection going down the pipe

Yes, one way of looking at it is that the "male" end should point downwards.
I am very clear on that and that the use of the DSA is for a slip joint for
easy disassembly.

So ... we are back to my actual question: when the pipe is in the installed
position, how much overlap does there need to be (i.e. how much of the
DSA needs to stick inside the female/top end of the top piece of stovepipe) ?
Of course, there will be more overlap when you push the pipe farther up
onto the DSA at cleaning/disassembly time.

Interesting - thanks. It's for double-wall and I'm going to use single-wall, but it
still kinda applies. Still, it seems to needly sidestep my question, although I guess
if you do not trim the smokepipe adapter and you pull the DSP up snug to the
top, you're going to have LOTS of overlap.
