    Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove. Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue.

    This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90 elbows.
