I need to learn as much as possible about chimney connector pipe in the next two hours, before the next installer gets here to quote my liner setup.
1. How does a stove pipe connect to the liner at the block-off plate? Seems to me the liner is above the block-off plate, and the stove pipe is below, but how is the connection made?
2. How does one get their stovepipe at the right length? Seems there's a very fixed distance between the bottom of the liner / block-off plate, and the top of the stove. Do you custom order stove pipe to match this length, after installing the liner and setting the stove?
3. Are there standard clearances for protected and unprotected cumbustables, to single-wall and double-wall stovepipe? The old Jotul 12 manual is less clear than most of the newer manuals I've seen. My clearance is only 17" to the wood lintel, which will have a heat shield, as shown in the attached drawing.
Thanks!
