Anyone know of the best place to purchase triple wall chimney pipe? Either online or in my Southern NJ area.
Thank you for the help, LMC

Plumbing & Heating supply, retail or wholesale. In the yellow pages.
Best? Craigslist, or somesuch. I've bought all mine slightly used, as were the stoves.

There is not a good answer for this.
Shipping can kill you on the stuff if you order online and it can be easily damaged in shipping.
It is also a high profit item for the retailers.
Just like tool retailers take it on the chin selling the power tools, but make it up on the accessories - drill bits, sandpaper, router bits, saw blades, etc.
The retailers who sell wood stoves are competing on price on the stove a lot, then get to make it up on the pipe. can't remember ever seeing a sale on the pipe.
then too, the stuff is made out of stainless steel so the price of materials to the manufacturer has been escalating like crazy.
I'm not trying to discourage you, just educate you as you start looking.

Do you remember the discount schedule when you sold it. Something like 35/10/10/10/10 for buying $5K worth and another 10% for each grand spent, IIRC. I bought a semi load once (around '81 or '82) and it was discounted to nearly 65% off the suggested list. Problem was, all my competetion did about the same thing. There were some sales then. http://grantlogan.net/

I never bought direct like that. Got mine from a wholesaler in Denver at something like 30%/2% plus 10% for large order.

It got insane how much discount they would give you if you just kept making the order larger. And if you look at the stuff, especially Duravent, there's not much there. It's mostly air.http://grantlogan.net/

stainless steel separated by space for all the insurance liability papers, LOL.Shipping would be a lot better if they could figure a way to build the stuff collapsed somehow

I get stuff like that UPS'd from Gensco. Check to see if they are out east. If not there are similar HVAC wholesalers out there I'm sure.

I JUST DID A JOB FOR A HO THEY MOVED A KILN AND NEEDED AN EXTRA SECTIONTHEY ORDERED IT FROM A PLACE IN CAL. THEY TOLD ME IT COST $300.00 PLUS SHIPPING. THE LOCAL FIREPLACE SHOPS AROUND HERE ONLY CARRY UP TP 10" AND THEY TOLD THEM THEY DIDN'T THINK METALBESTOS COULD SUPPLY THAT SIZE. BY THE WAY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR USED MAKE SURE ALL THE PIECES ARE FROM SAME MAUFACTURER AS THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE
