It is really funny how long we continue to use our “stop gap” solutions on a variety of things, in the case of the wood stove chimney, we still are using what we started out with. See post link here on deck moat installation. We still are using a 4′ length of galvi 6″ pipe and a T from the Home Depot for the upper stove pipe. The part that comes through the deck iron is stainless steel which I had made by a fellow in Maine called Dan who markets himself as Dan’s Rugged Pipes on Ebay as I recall. When we’re underway, we stash the stove pipe in the forecastle, put a watertight rubber sleeve over the “stub” and a good looking sunbrella cover over that (attached with heavy duty hose clamps of the sort you use on exhaust system). The entire bronze deck moat is actually above the deck itself because of the way we did the wood blocking.

One of these days, gotta get around to making a proper Charlie Noble and getting the extension made in SS.

At anchor, baking all day.

Sort of “hillbilly” LOL.
