A stove pipe question

[LOTW]

I just acquired a new wood burner. My chimney goes strait up through the ceiling and roof.
Here is my question, how can I install the pipe from stove to ceiling without removing (lifting) chimney? Do I need to add elbows to give me some wiggle room to assemble the pipe?

A picture or 2 might useful here...so we can understand what you are trying to do.

You use a slip connector at the top. Male ends point down and three screws per joint. Something like this.

Or... you could set the feet of your stove on bricks.

yep, as Ironhorse mentioned use a piece of telescoping pipe.

Bricks I like the brick idea, used it before, not bad for a mechanical engineer.

Thanks guys. Me, you aren't the first person to suggest setting it up on blocks, I do appreciate the advice!
The telescoping pipe would be perfect but the local hardware store didn't have one nor did their supplier. They had a draw collar in galvanized but were unable to get one in black.
I could order what I need but I thought about it clfor a second before going to the shop and building a draw collar.
Took me 20 minutes to roll up a piece of sheet metal I already had. I'll finish it up tonight.

Someone said instead of bricks just leave my floor Jack under there to make it easy to clean the pipe.

Nice, he was an engineer too.

Well, that looks like heavier gauge than what black stove pipe is at 24 gauge.

It's 16ga

It worked out ok, lighter ga would have been better, it would have tightened up nicer. As usual though I got by with what I had on hand.
Stove works great, drafts like a champ. Vast improvement over the old one.
