That just might be it. The piece I need doesn't actually have the butterfly shutoff in it though. It's still called called the flue collar huh

thanks!

ok i found this \


listed under "starter collar". it is not made of the metal i need. If home depot doesn't have it, where could i find something like that

1/10/2010 5:20:54 PM

That's galvanized...what do you want?

1/10/2010 5:22:18 PM

If that isn't what you want try going to a stove and fireplace store.

that gavanized stuff is not made for woodstoves. its made for like dryer vents and such. duct work. its a much thinner metal to boot.

"starting collars are used to transition from lined or ductboard plenums to round pipe or insulated flexible duct. "

What I need is a heavier metal made for wood stoves like what im replacing. preferably stove-black finish


who would carry such a thing?

^know of any stove and fireplace stores?

A new flue chimney and fireplace in Cary and firehouse casual living in Raleigh or fireplace editions on carborro.

awesome. you did that so quickly. are you cheating?

i've got a fireplace with no flue in it. i guess that's what its called, if i look up i can see all the way through to the sky. (there is a chimney cap, but you get the idea) if i want to put gas logs in there, what is the best way to keep the heat from going straight up the chimney?

1/10/2010 8:00:12 PM

First, get a flue.



To keep the heat inside, there's an accessory that you can get with gas logs, it's a electric blower with this wide, thin metal duct that goes right over the flames and blows hot air into the room. Works pretty well.

1/10/2010 8:07:22 PM

yeah, otherwise all the heat you're paying for is going out the chimbly
