We bought a VC 1910 marketplace find yesterday to replace our burned out Jotul. Because of the top load as well as the top stove pipe we aren’t able to install it - Jotul had rear pipe. It’s going in our fireplace that has 40 1/2” tall opening, about an inch or two too short for opening the top loader. My question is does anyone make a stove pipe that would go from VC oval (8”) to 6” round and be offset by 45 deg or be a 90 deg bend? Top of stove is 29” so not much room to play with. And no shaming please, we should’ve measured better, I know. Thanks in advance for advice.

Or even 8” oval to 8” round 90 deg
