Hi Folks
Just wanted to say, that using cement on a stove adapter does not make it easier for pulling out a pellet stove for servicing!
To remove this tove adapter was 6 vent busting steps!
1. Cut the pipe from the venting using a reciprocating saw.
2. Cut the pipe again closer to the stove flange with a hacksaw and jig saw without cutting into the stove flange!
3. Using a hammer, drive a screwdriver between the stove flange and the stove adapter.
4. Twist the screw driver to break the stove flange and start peeling it up.
5. Continue peeling it up using vise grips to completely remove the rest of the stove adapter!
6. Use wire wheel on drill to remove cement on stove flange!
So what should you attach a stove adapter to a pellet stove for easy servicing?
Many people use nothing! Great for servicing! Some put hi temp foil around it if smoke does escape! What else can be used for EASY servicing?
