Had a bird in the flue this morning, had to remove the flue from the stove in order to get it out. First time having to remove the flue from the stove since getting this stove installed this past winter. The telescoping flue got scratched up pretty good. Can anyone recommend a matte black paint I can use to touch this up. I’m not very happy that this telescoping flue scratched so easily, seems like I’ll be very hesitant to remove the flue going forward. Also, couldn’t get all the screw holes to line up exactly when reinstalling it, complete PITA.
