So glad you posted this. So simple, yet solved the problem for getting older diameter flue collar to work.

Great idea! I'm totally going to use it on my old stove. Thanks

Very nice solution to a problem i was just about to encounter. I just got my # 10 jewel potbelly stove today on a great find from FB Marketplace. I measured and then searched for the correct adapter and could not find one. I turned to old trusty KZfaq and found your excellent solution and all within 1 hr. I want to thank you for sharing it really helped to quickly end what was shaping up to be a real pain in the ass!

Thank you! Exact issue I was pondering. Genius idea.

Just ran into the same problem...... 7"x5" oval to round Great Western Stove (228) Heading to the home center tomorrow. Thank you!

That was some ingenuity

Your dad's a genius!

Thanks so much. I have same problem. Excellent job!

This is INCREDIBLY MASSIVELY HELPFUL - - THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!

Thank You very much for making and posting this video. I usually come up w/ a solution but this time I kept drawing blanks..!! Looking forward to trying this out... Awesome

Pretty good idea. I just got an old Southern Pacific caboose potbelly stove from my grandpa that has the same oval outlet. I'll give this a shot.

My dad had some old flue pipes from the 30s that are oval shaped that I used to put in my pot belly

Omg thank you!!! I’ve been looking everythwere for something like this

Yes, very clever.

GREAT video!! Thank you very much. I'm currently struggling finding the same fitting but mine is 8" long on the oval and about 5.5" wide. Everything I see online is over $100 for the fitting. I've already sent back the 1st attempt which was a 8"x8" oval to round for $50... when it arrived it was round to round.. Your idea is genius! I thought about making one but your end cap idea is AWESOME. Hopefully I can find one that's affordable. Thx again for the help

Very elegant! So glad I found this

Thanks! You just saved me a whole lot of money and time.

Thanks bro. The answer to 2 hours looking for that durn thang on the computer! Thumbs waaaaay Up!!!

Just picked up a sun 50 the other day for a hundred bucks. Gonna go this route, thank you for the great idea!

That a bloody great idea. Thank you mate!

Thanks! I saw this one guy take the pipe you have and he squeezed one end until it turned oval then he forced it on to stove. It took him a minute but it worked out

I am looking at a stove of a different brand that has this oval outlet.. thankyoi for the insightful video that will now make this unit work stree free..

Perfect solution.

Genius idea! Thanks!

Awesome idea. Thanks.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks. Just got my hands on a montgomery ward oval exhaust.

Perfect! I'm doing this!

Brilliant!!!!

Friggin aye! Great video! Thank u

Pretty clever how you made your cap into a flu pipe adapter…just got a free potbelly stove I’m in Murphy NC now getting ready to to leave back to north eastern Tennessee very near the Virginia line..

exactly what i needed

Thanks!

Thank you

End cap can be purchased at Lowe's.

genius!

Any creosote buildup on the horizontal part of the adapter?

very smart

Ur tha man 🤙

What is the end cap from

I have the same problem. I'm not sure why you would need an end cap, maybe to winterize you cabin when you're not there. Our winter's arnt that severe in Australia, I hope my hardware have an end cap, or order one from the States.

You can going to any wood stove company and get the adapter

Just take a round pipe(might have to use stainless as 4 and 5" black round pipes are hard to find in someplaces) and bend it to the oval shape ...works for 6 and 7 inch oval too! Im currently running two stoves with oval pipes, no adapters, no issues!

Geeeeeennnniussss

Great idea, now how to make a damper Lol

I'm not an expert, but I think this way is dangerous in the long run once the black tar builds up in there, I thought the pipe has to go in the stove

My potbelly stove opening is the same size as your one. I’m just about to hook it up in my greenhouse and the 6” pipe is too big for my stove. Duravent don’t make this adapter. This looks like a solution, How has it performed? Have you had any problems with creosote dripping onto the “lid”

What I wanna know is, what genius decided to make the hole oval when stove pipe is round???

Where did you get that size cap?

Have you tried bending a stove pipe into an oval shape at one end?

Take a piece of string go around the oval, mark it turn the oval string back into a circle then measure for exact pipe size. This isn't going to work long term. Use welded seam pipe not that crimp trash to make the oval. I have a small acme similar to this it's 5" pipe. Probably why you couldn't get a good fit.

I got my adaptor ovel to 6inch round from eBay

Dude it's it's been chimney pipe

>>>> Dangerous
