Regarding how to mark the holes, I found out a business sized envelope is pretty much the perfect length for marking distance between holes on a 6 inch single wall pipe. I simply marked up the same height on both sides, putting a mark on each side of my tape. I then used the envelope to mark the distance around. Worked great! Thanks for the 19 1/2 measurement.

I had a wood stove installed by a top-rated chimney and stove guy a couple years ago. He put in double wall chimney pipe with a damper. The stove never drafted adequately, no matter what I did.... including the installation of a Vacu-Stack chimney cap. This past week, I discovered that his crew had installed the damper “flapper” backwards, so when you thought it was wide open, it was actually in the closed position. Anything that can be installed incorrectly WILL be installed incorrectly.

thank you. i ran into this and thought i would comment on a easier way to find opposite ends to mark your holes. its an old pipe fitters trick. you take a piece of paper, and wrap it around the pipe so that it creates the circumference you need. you then take that paper, and fold it in half, and in half again. that will give you 4 creases all together. place the paper back on the pipe, and the creases will show exact opposite sides.

I have a few questions that i hope you can answer. I was wondering how come they make the damper so much smaller then the pipe I seen on mine and yours that there's a gap at least a quarter of am inch all the way around the damper inside the pipe? And also isn't the damper supposed to be at least a foot up to 1ft and a 1/2 from the stove? I bought a damper with a short pipe I think it's about a half a foot tall and the damper is installed in the middle of it so it's like a quarter of a foot up from the stove. So I'm thinking that since it's that close then it's why I'm always hearing the damper clink from getting hot and also the chimney always sounds like it's catching on fire after the first use just after the time I damp it after cleaning the pipe. Also it does it when I don't even damp it. But when I damp it I only turn it quarter percent the way like this \

The wood stove has a manufacturer installed cast iron backdraft damper directly on top of the unit and I need to connect to it. It measures 10" diameter on the outside and approx 9.5" on the inside. If I pipe to the inside (drop it in) like I think it should where do I find 9.5 inch pipe, chimney etc. Thanks in advance.
