Telescoping stovepipe question

[Michael Morgan]

Hi everyone,

First let me say how helpful everyone has been to me as a new stove owner, thanks for that!

Originally my dealer could not get a long telescopic length (36"-68") of double-wall stove pipe, so I was relegated to shorter sections and a 12"-18" telescopic length. I haven't actually installed yet, and he called today to say he could get a long one for me if I wanted. That one length would cover my whole distance from stove to chimney.

What are your thoughts on using one telescopic length? Is there anything wrong with that or any concerns to have?

Thanks so much!

The fewer joints the better, depending on price.

I used one telescoping piece from stove collar to ceiling. Looks pretty clean if you ask me.

I have one piece as well. I think it would look better than multiple pieces. And less joints as mentioned above.

Same here - 1 section

Okay, price works out to be almost the same too. Thanks so much everyone!
