Stainless Steel Stove Pipe

24-in. long by 4-in. diameter. 8ft required for maximum efficiency of the Chofu wood-fired heater. For the past 18 years this pipe has been made to our specifications by an Amish sheet metal shop using premium grade 304 stainless steel. We have a low mark-up to encourage people to use this high quality stainless pipe that will last a lifetime. 8ft. of stove pipe is necessary to produce the optimal air-draw through the Chofu firebox for fast, efficient heating. A shorter chimney length will produce a slower heating rate. Stove pipe must be stabilized by our Stainless Steel Support Bracket if more than 8ft. of pipe or a Chimney Cap is used. When using a chimney cap, 10ft. of pipe should be used to compensate for the draft restriction created by the cap. Sheet metal screws for fastening stove pipe connections and a cobalt drill bit (required for drilling stainless steel) are provided when purchasing a Chofu heater. All stove pipe connections must be secured with three sheet metal screws to insure stability. The stove pipe must also be securely fasted to the 4-in. stove pipe adapter; however, the connection between the pipe adapter and the smoke outlet collar does not require sheet metal screws for stability, as this connection has a tight glove-like fit. When the Chofu is not being used, the stove pipe may be lifted off from the smoke outlet collar and stored.
