    If you figure out how to do that, let me know.
    Maybe my drill bit was dull that day.:picard:

    a nice new cobalt bit will drill that just fine. Just my opinion but I would either have a fab shop weld up an elbow or order one the right degree. I know when you get this close you want to get it done but it's not that cold out, take a breath and do it right.

    It doesn't have to be stainless, mine is made from 3/16 steel. I have a church friend that has a fab shop.

    Yep looks like you need about 15º degrees. Just remember you are playing with fire here.

    FWIW, in my install (same stove), self tapping screws and a cordless screwgun were all that was needed to get things fastened.

    If I were you, I would think about making a convection deck to get the most heat out of the fireplace. The blower does a very crappy job blowing air across the stove top. It blows more air up, than out.

    Some plate/flat steel and a piece of 4" rigid dryer vent (cut it in half and use for the sides) makes almost all the air come across the stove top and will get it out into your room. I did it for the added heat. It would be a must for me if it was in a fireplace.
