Greetings to all from a new member.
I have a Fisher wood stove with an exhaust ring of 1/4" thick steel welded to the top. It has no pre-drilled holes in it for screws to attach the pipe.
So my question is how best to do the attachment, as it's going to be difficult to drill holes. I can manage it if necessary but curious if there's an alternate method that will make for a safe and chimney-fire-proof attachment? Will just cementing it be adequate? It's difficult to believe the manufacturer intended an installer to drill these holes given the thickness of the steel.
The stove will be used daily.
