It's Schedule 40 PVC pipe and I figure I'll just put a bead of white

silicone caulk around on each side and sort of knead it in so if fills

the clearance gap.



Exhaust heat is not an issue: I left the device running for an hour with

no hole in the door and the muffler 2" from the wood and the wood was

barely warm. I can hold my bare hand up to the exhaust no problem.



Main function of the caulk is to keep the PVC from falling out and maybe

take the occasional bump - but nothing more.



Since the caulk I have won't go off until temps are in the sixties I've

got plenty time and figured Greater Minds Than Mine might know of

something more appropriate.

That's what I would use.
