Duravent triple wall cheapest I can find on Amazon is over $200 a stick. I know its not the best stuff, but its probably the most commonly used.
Amazing at the cost increase.

I noticed that the prices were much lower than that about 2 months ago or so, it seems like it is going up and down with demand (closer to heating season makes price increase) probably a shortage.

I ended up paying about $450 more in total for my chimney and through the wall thimble that I bought in January last year, VS the prices I saw over the last few months
 
I would not say it is the most commonly used. Selkirk may have an edge on that one. Most pro installers do not install DuraPlus. That is more a big box special.
Metal costs are going up, but I would invest in the better quality DuraTech chimney pipe. This is infrastructure and when the cost is amortized over the 30-40 yr. lifespan of the chimney pipe, the additional cost worth it, imo.

Check out here for better pricing.

I agree we really don't see it often at all
 
Lol that’s why I clicked on it. I came to this thread expecting to learn all about pipe nuts...I feel cheated!

The price of everything has went crazy, don’t get me started on trucks or tractors.
 
Just did a duratech chimney install. Crazy expensive. The offset pipes are ridiculous.

Make a run to Menards in Warren OH, or Triadelphia WV...Supervent by Selkirk.
 
From July 2021:
What do refrigerators, air conditioning units, and new cars have in common? They're all seeing prices spike as manufacturers grapple with a worsening shortage of a key component: steel.


Since March 2020, steel prices are up a staggering 215%. The benchmark price for hot-rolled steel hit another all-time high last week, climbing to $1,825. Prior to the pandemic, it traded in the $500 to $800 range.

What's going on? During the early months of the 2020 shutdowns, many steel mills shut off production in fear that we were headed into a deep recession—maybe even a depression. But that drop-off in demand didn't last long for iron ore. Early in the pandemic, stuck at home Americans rushed to spruce up their abodes. Soon, steel-heavy products like grills and refrigerators were in high demand. That quick rebound caught steel mills off-guard.

"What happened, which is similar to lumber, demand during COVID-19 was stronger than first anticipated because of switches in consumption patterns. Instead of paying for experiences and vacations, they were buying a new lawn mower, buying a new car, or white goods like appliances—which are steel intensive," Thorsten Schier, a metals expert at Fastmarkets, tells Fortune.
