I just put in some chimney pipe for a wood stove. The
slip joints have a
little space in them. What is good for sealing up
these
joints?

My first thought was JB Weld. Is that good, or is
there
something that
would stick to the metal at those temperatures?

Steve

You shouldn't need to seal them if it is installed
right.
The right way is
the joint is lapped so the creosote doesn't run out and
down your pipe.
Round here tis a sure sign of a greenhorn. Also put
three
sheetmetal screws
in each joint.

Steve



Creosote should never run out of your pipes! If it is you
are firing _way_
too low! The inside of your stove should be white if you
are
firing up
like you should be! A hot house has a clean
chimney......;)

That may be so but it doesn't change the way the pipes should be installed.

Then, why is it that every wood stove I ever saw had a male connection
on the stove. As far as securing the sections together, put a loop of
stove pipe wire (19 Ga. black, soft iron wire, now used to tie rebar,
etc.) around the vertical pipe, then once around every six feet (or
thereabouts) on the horizontal run and anchor it either to the next
vertical or to a hook in the chimney; also support the horizontal run
every six feet with a loop of said wire to a hook in the ceiling. Take
your stovepipes out and clean them every month.
At least this is the way my father, grandfather and their ancestors
did it and obviously they weren't burned to death in a house fire!
