Questioning what size pipe I should have from the back of my wood stove to the chimney. The back of my stove is 7". I put a stainless steel liner in my chimney, 6". What size should I use going to the liner? Neck it down at the stove to 6" or run 7" to where it goes through the wall and my 6" liner begins? Coming from the stove it consists of 2 90° and about 36" of pipe. Thank you!
Pipe size?

The two 90º turns are adding restriction. Would it be possible to reduce this, maybe by using 45s? What stove is this for?
Well the liner should have been 7" to match the stove. But at this point it really doesn't matter where you reduce it.
Then the clay tiles needed removed. How did you fit insulation with the old liners in place?
Does your chimney have the required clearance from the outside of the masonry structure to combustible materials?
Not exactly sure what you mean by this??? It's and exterior block chimney, with terracotta liner, stainless steel liner...how much more do I need to be away from combustible materials???
Yes there was a gap between the chimney and house. What does this have to do with my question?
And I gave you an answer on the pipe size along with other pertinent information.
Looks like you ran into a chimney condescension problem.
Best of luck.
Hang in there.

I was simply trying to tell him the proper way it should be done. And trying to make sure the setup is safe. No condescension.
Which Harman model? All those that I have records for are 6", but I don't have every manual. Can you post a picture of the installation location and a sketch of the proposed stovepipe layout. Usually there is a way to eliminate at least one 90º elbow.
