Hello all! First post! I'm looking at getting a small woodstove and researching everything before I buy anything. I noticed that Jotul specifically states you should use black steel pipe for temperature reasons to toxic fumes from galvanized or other metals that cant stand high heat. What is the temperature range the pipe/liner will reach? Everything I see just has a stainless steel liner with an appliance connecter on the end just attaching to the back of the stove/insert. Do you really have to use black? Is 316ti ss safe for the operating temperature? Any advice is welcomed, thanks!
stove pipe/chimney connector - black? 316ti?

I guess what I'm asking, is do I even need to bother with the black pipe? If I'm just coming down the chimney into the back of the stove, can I just pop the appliance connector onto the end of the liner like I see all of the "how to" videos demonstrating?
Will it be in a fireplace? If it's a stove backed into a fireplace then a clean out Tee is usually installed. If it's a masonry chimney, you will also have a Tee with a SS snout sticking out of the thimble, then black stove pipe.
Yes absoluty use a tee if it is a stove not an insert unless you can come straight down onto it. From there you can use black pipe if you want there is no reason you could not use stainless but it is not necessary at all. You can also use double wall connector pipe to reduce required clearances.
