Does anyone know a source for STAINLESS STEEL Single wall 6" Chimney pipe?
I used to get it to connect my wood burner to the double walled Chimney Pipe
at a place called Passaic Metal Products in Patterson New Jersey, but since I now live almost exactly 100miles further west getting there is "inconvenient".
I only need 2-6" elbows a 2' straight length and a Tee to connect my Harmon to my current masonry Chimney.
What I'd really like is someplace that will ship it to me...

I don't recommend box store stovepipe. Look for your local HVAC supply house. They will have almost anything available in any size and it will be commercial grade. It costs a few bucks more but it is money well spent. And if you ask the questions about the product, I'd wager they know what they are talking about when they respond.

Frankly I've been running cheap black single wall stove pipe from my local hardware store and replacing it every other year, but I'd really like to replace the four piece four foot minagerie once and forget it forever.
"Quality" doesn't seem important for single wall pipe connections, that is why I want to buy stainless steel, my issue is the black pipe elbows have a limited life I've never had either the straight 24" piece or the Tee fail.
Living with a coal stove is easier than living with a wood stove was, black chimney pipe only ever lasted one season and would invariable fail at the beginning of the next season... but I ended that by replacing it in stainless
steel and never had to worry about it again, It's somebody else's problem now and last heard it is still doing it's job 20 years later, I ran it for more than a decade before I moved here...

They don't list stainless steel!
I have belatedly realized I didn't explicitly say "Stainless steel" in my first post, but I was thinking it!
I may have to get some cheap black chimney pipe from my local True-Value until I can get into New Jersey because I'm pretty sure I could poke a finger through one of my elbows now if I gave it a semi-serious try

I'm running heat fab on my boiler. After seeing how much better this pipe is than the cheap hardware store stuff, it's all I will ever use.

SS I use comes from local brick and mortar HVAC supply house...no online sales.
It is very heavy gauge and I have them roll a couple extra crimps on the opposite ends of a piece or two, before I leave, for my smaller cut pieces...it's a pain making another trip for only roll crimps.
I have made changes and then added in some HeatFab and likewise am impressed.
Cold rolled heavy gauge and weled seam works for me.
North Line Express online was never more than 2 days out for me...

Pamco (Passaic metal products co) is more than anything an HVAC supplier, they make custom plenums and other complex ductwork for A/C systems to design as well as sell preformed duct work as well as Raw sheet metal in various gauges.
They sell a lot of stuff if you ever want a full service shop to fabricate pieces for your copper gutters and downspouts they are the place to go.
Last time I was there I bought a 4'x8" sheet of galvanized steel to reskin my rusty pickup truck bed, they even split the sheet lengthwise for me after I paid for it.

Cherry Valley stoves sells SS pipe. That's where I got mine. I would think they would ship it to you.

durablack stainless was junk imo! thanks for the link to northline express as they had the best price delivered today, prices vary sometimes daily. last year after heating season i looked + amazon was best delivered price last year + heat fab looked like the best value so time will tell!! heat-fab listed some specialty stainless but it was listed for gas + pellet + of course a bit more $$

Mo money up front for 22 gauge Heat Fab cold rolled electro-welded seam pipe, but cheaper to own in the long run than the El Cheapo pipe replaced 3 times.

After running SS pipe on my DS1500 for a season I am not to sure it was a wise decision. I have a buildup of what appears to be white corrosion on the seams and connections from the acid from burning coal and or a little bit of wood. Anybody else have this happen?
