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 UA-cam 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 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
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
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..
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..
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 install an end cap at a "T" in the chimney to use as a clean out. It depends what you burn and how hot as too how bad your chimney soots up. Good day mate! :)
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!
I did attempt to bend a circle to an oval for my stove initially but could not get the geometry to work and ensure a snug fit. Perhaps you could post a link to some pics of your setup. better yet a video of bending a circle to an oval:) Thanks for sharing!
@@ministrydrummer You have to use the older snap together style pipe. After you snap it together crimp the seam with some pliers to keep it shut and so it will slip over the oval
@@ministrydrummer Same here. A 6 inch round pipe ovals out to 8 inches on my stove. I need a 6 inch by 3 inch oval. Any ideas what size pipe will oval to that size???? Thanks! :)
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”
My stove is not in use yet. I suspect any creosote that close to the fire will burn up. My research indicates creosote builds in the cooler sections of your stove in pipe run. That being said allow for access to inspect periodically just to be safe...I appreciate your input...
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.
Creosote should be cleaned from the entire system as necessary... please provide a link to your mystery adapter...all adapters I found and ordered were the wrong fit...thanks for your feedback
So glad you posted this. So simple, yet solved the problem for getting older diameter flue collar to work.

I'm glad it worked for you! Many a UA-camr has helped me for sure😄
Great idea! I'm totally going to use it on my old stove. Thanks
Just ran into the same problem......
7"x5" oval to round Great Western Stove (228)
Heading to the home center tomorrow.
Thank you!
Thank you! Exact issue I was pondering. Genius idea.
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
Your dad's a genius!
Indeed!
Thanks so much. I have same problem. Excellent job!
GREAT video!! Thank you very much.

That was some ingenuity

Pretty sure that is how it’s supposed to be done. The way it’s done in this video may collect creosote in the adapter he made.
Omg thank you!!! I’ve been looking everythwere for something like this
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.

Yes, very clever.
Thanks bro. The answer to 2 hours looking for that durn thang on the computer! Thumbs waaaaay Up!!!
Thanks! You just saved me a whole lot of money and time.
Any creosote buildup on the horizontal part of the adapter?
Just picked up a sun 50 the other day for a hundred bucks. Gonna go this route, thank you for the great idea!
My dad had some old flue pipes from the 30s that are oval shaped that I used to put in my pot belly
Brilliant!!!!
Awesome idea. Thanks.
Perfect solution.
Very elegant! So glad I found this

Perfect! I'm doing this!
That a bloody great idea.
Thank you mate!
Thanks. Just got my hands on a montgomery ward oval exhaust.
Thank you

exactly what i needed
End cap can be purchased at Lowe's.

I tried that, and it didn't work.

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
I thought the same thing. It’s a creosote trap. I’d worry about that thing catching fire at some point
Friggin aye! Great video! Thank u

Couple years running w no issues. Thanks for watching ✌️
Thanks for the idea!
You can going to any wood stove company and get the adapter
Great idea, now how to make a damper Lol
very smart
Thanks!
Have you tried bending a stove pipe into an oval shape at one end?
I tried that and it doesn't work. I ruined a $25 piece of new pipe trying.
Ur tha man 🤙

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