Recently I was playing with my new Craftsman Leaf Blower / Vacuum and it became obvious I needed new flue. I put my stove in in 1992, I have a adjustable elbow off the back of the stove to first section of flue, I modded the end at the stove to add a pair of clamps. It is inside, no rust, never leaked.
Outside is a whole other deal. 3 feet horizontal from stove to tee, then 15 feet straight up to a vent cap of stainless steel. The interior is of course, A-OK as it's stainless steel. The outer shell is .... not so good. No leaks, but this year we are thinking of a new roof maybe .... but for sure, I'll want to replace the flue.
Was in TSC today, the 36" pieces were $34.99 each, the tee with cleanout cap was $54.99. All were discounted 25% which brought those prices down to below what I paid for the first pieces 25 years ago. They had 2 tees and 7 pieces of pipe, I needed 6 pipes. Got it all just under $200 before tax.
Might paint them black like before .... haven't decided.
