Cool, good info everybody. I'm sure it'll be pretty easy to get a stovepipe at Home Depot - thanks to ya'll for letting me know it's not...
OK, not sure this fits this forum - it's not a gas fueled stove. I couldn't find any rules against posting something like this though, and thought...
Congrats on a VERY cool stove! I haven't seen one of those before...I'd love to stumble upon one in the local Craigslist! 8)
Congrats on the new acquisition, esp now that you've got it straightened out 8)
Thanks for the info. It sounds like a cool unit, but I'm going to pass on it. It is nearby, but I don't have a ton of cash to burn and might need...

Very nice!

Great anecdotes and history, thanks for sharing! It blows my mind that some of those WWII era stoves are virtually unchanged from the design...
