I have an existing stove pipe chimney that is 7".
I'm getting rid of the wood stove and getting a pellet stove and wondering how to marry the pellet stove to the existing pipe/chimney.
Presently, from stove height there is single walled stove pipe running up to a circular thing on the ceiling (guards ceiling from catching on fire).
From the roof up there is aluminum pipe that goes up about 5 feet above the roof with some kind of cap on it.
My question is what is the best way to marry these systems.
Specifically how to connect at the very top of the chimney and at the bottom stove end.
I'm hoping for something that isn't ugly on the stove end since it is in our family room.
Also, should I bring in a fresh air supply for greatest efficiency for a pellet stove?
Are there flexible pipe fresh air supply pipes/tubes or all they all rigid?
Thanks in advance for your help.
