    I went from a profile 20 to an englander 25PDVC and my foil tape is melting and I’ve never had a problem until now. It’s the same pipe and tape I’ve previously used for years now. Is it burning hotter than the previous stove? Tips? I attached pics of the stove and pipe thank you all in advance. IMG_0953.jpg

    I can’t see the photo for some reason. I was thinking of going to a plumbing and heating place and asking them if they had anything that would fit the bill.

    Make sure you fully remove the old stuff first. Don’t just go over the top. Gonna take some time with a razor blade and maybe some acetone for the adhesive..

    I have it but I don’t trust it 100% because I’m a fire fighter and i’m paranoid about carbon monoxide.

    Did you do the exhaust pipe install yourself?
