Why did they stretch the venting on the roof?
That aluminum pipe seems very soft and fragile, why can’t they use stainless steel pipe? Or just hole behind the wall and finish the connection?
Bob vila got old and bald huh lol

Watchet fella I'm circumcized already...
talking about eco lets burn gas
20 plus years of installing and servicing fireplaces. No one should be using high temp silicone to seal the flue outlet vent. It will eventually degrade, crystallize and get drawn into the combustion air intake side. Leaving it to reak havoc on the pilot assembly and burner. I've installed and serviced every major brand and it eventually happens to them ALL . Millpac black sealant is the way to go. Will not crystallize and it cures with heat so you can set up and test fire the same day as install unlike silicone that requires a minimum of 12 hours of cure time..
The outside air moving down the larger pipe, will cool the inner flue gas pipe. In colder climates, seems like this could create quite a problem venting the fireplace adequately. Please explain!
Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace fireplace.homes . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.
