Brand new to Stoves, need help with old country comfort please!

Hi everybody, new to forums and wood stoves. I just bought a 1987 country comfort cc150 off CL. There was a stove in the house i just bought but the previous owner took it and all the stove pipe. I was able to get the stove pipe back but not the stove so i bought this one. The issue is, either the flue collar was cut off, or it never had one so im trying to figure out out hoe to connect my black double wall stove pipe to it. The local fireplace store was no help, he said 20 years of experience and never seen anything like it. I will try to attatch some pictures. Thanks again

 

The collar seems to be missing based on the stains. Probably will have to get one fabricated.

I'm no expert, but my single wall flue pipe had a flared area where it joins.

It may be as simple as putting the pipe down in, till the flare meets the stovetop, and seal with furnace cement.

 

They had a piece of single wall pipe cut and screwed in to be a makeshift collar. I can fab one up but im not sure of the ideal dimensions. Do you know what the proper hieght off of the stove top is? And the i.d. and o.d.? Thanks guys!

 

This would be perfect except those mounting holes would be over open space, if those 3 tabs where on the outside itd be a done deal. Ive been staring at that on amazon trying to figure out how to use it.

 

Found this image:

 

Also saw this bit of information:
[ B and G Woodstove ] in Canton, Ohio - (330) 492-7800 ask for Susan.
I promised I would mention that they have country comfort parts and manuals for a good portion of the country comfort woodstove product line.
please post this very helpful american company heartland company - which has purchased the entire parts inventory from C.C. Follansbe Steel.

 

Also, welcome to the FHC; we may get a bit excited at times over wood hoarding and the stuff that goes along with it.

 

One of the knobs is a bypass; you open it for starting the fire and once you have a good steady burn close it so you get secondary burns.

 

There are only 2 holes, front and back. There was a piece of single wall pipe with the crimped end shoved in the flue outlet and 2 self tapping sheet metal screws screwed into those 2 holes to hold it in place. But as you can see from the wierd discoloration, it wasnt sealing well at all.

 

This image appears to show a collar

 

It appears that there was a flue collar that was removed and then some large oval object placed on top of the stove. Take measurements of the diameter of the opening and then see what you can find to replace it. Also you might want to call the number I posted and see if you can get a flue collar for it.

 

Yes its very conflicting, i keep finding pictures both ways, so im just assumming it had a removable flue collar?

 

OK I might have to try that period I think I'm gonna order the one off of Amazon and cut off the inside tabs and see if I can make a flange for it or something. What would be the best brand of furnace cement for his furnace caulking acceptable?
