Stove pipe question

[cyclone]

The stove pipe connection to the stove I can see on the one side and back a little separation where the stove pipe goes into the stove. Not a tight fit . I have three screws fastening the stove pipe to the stove and they are tight. I have no leakage of smoke and does seem to effect the stove performance.

Is there any sealer I should put around the stove pipe??

Or should I disconnect and try to fasten again??

Thanks again everyone......

Murry, there is a cement you can buy at any hardware store. That should go on the pipe before you put it into the stove. It is easy to work with and excess wipes off with a wet cloth. It needs to dry and then be cured with a small fire. You won't have any leaks using that.
