Hey everyone we bought a new house and got a free stove from a family member, my question is what's the best way to connect the stove to the chimney in this situation? The chimney vent off the stove is on an angle. i was thinking of putting the Pipe on an angle then attach an elbow to the chimney? or would you suggest an elbow right off the stove?

Haven't ran into this situation before and figure someone on here may know the best way :)
Pictures below, thanks!

Something like this is designed for your application. SS from Heat Fab. You need to know what angle is required.
It fits the flue collar & the SS liner is screwed to it, using SS Zipscrews.

Alright so I bought the piping just have to install the damper tomorrow. How does this set up look? Will it work efficiently ?

It should work ok as long as there isn't negative pressure in the basement. Safety-wise it would be good to clear away combustibles and anything that could potentially fall on the stove or stove pipe.

Concerning efficiency is there a block-off plate at the damper area to stop heat from going up the chimney? Are the basement walls fully insulated?
 
Thanks for the reply, all items around it will be removed when I fully set it up.

what do you mean by negitive pressure?? I'm new to this stuff :)

The pipes are in an old masonry chimney and it's in a bungalow.
 
Nevermind. With the cement block and clutter this looked like a basement installation, sounds like it isn't.

A block-off plate is particularly helpful with inserts installed in fireplace on exterior walls with exterior chimneys. Without one, the flue liner (which should be insulated) and the stove will try to heat the mass of masonry that is exposed to the outdoors. This can result in a significant cooling of the stove and large heat loss. A block off plate keeps the heat where you want it. Here are links to installations with some great photos of how they did it:
