Stove pipe secrets

We got the new Jotul woodstove installed onto the hearth today.

The first fire will need to wait till we finish sealing up the chimney which is contingent on nice weather for the cement to cure right.

One of these days I'll figure out the secret to connecting a piece of stove pipe to itself. I'm not sure if it's my technique or a weak design, but something tells me there's a trick to snapping them together that must be easier than the round about way I've been doing it.

I'm glad to hear that. Well, not glad that you have trouble too, but glad that we're not doing something stupid and making the procedure harder than it has to be. :-)
