Leaky stove pipe

[garrete]

I took my cimmaron and ti goat stove out for there maiden voyages on an ice fishing trip yesterday.

I had already burned the stove in, but this time on set up there was a pretty sizable gap between the stove body and the pipe. The temps hit -8 so I kept that sucker rolling even with a bit of smoke. Once it got hot most of the smoke drafted up the pipe, but it got pretty gnarly a few times.

I coughed up some black shit in the am and my hair was full of soot.

Any ideas on what I can stuff in the crack around the pipe to keep smoke going where it's supposed to?

I have a Kifaru cylinder stove so I'm not sure of the differences in design, but the only time I had smoke issues like that, the spark arrestor was clogged up, soon as I cleaned it, the problem went away and I doubt the gap between stove and pipe on your stove is any bigger. So that didn't answer your question though, but it might be another way to skin the cat, they do make wood stove gasket, I would imagine that would work, cut a length the circumference of your pipe and just slip fit it in each time

There is a foil tape you can find at Home Depot in the water heater section used to wrap those vent pipes...though I dunno how it will do if you heat it cherry red.

Maybe cut a section of shim stock for an overlay that has a cleaner outlet hole and will stiffen everything up.

Thats all I got....

That's kind of what I was thinking. With the wood stove gasket.

It wasn't the spark arrestor. I took it off and the performance stayed the same.

Don't put rings around the bottom couple of feet of pipe and it should expand to fill the hole. But, if it were me I would be calling tigoat to let them know they cut the hole too big on this stove body.

Question. You running a TiGoat cylinder stove or a WiFi stove? Big difference between those designs.
