I really need to get my sled weight down a bit more. I am thinking of using Ti foil to replace the thick and heavy steel flue on my wood stove. Flue pipe is only 70mm in diametre so a circumference of ~220mm. How much overlap do you need to have a good draw on a rolled pipe?
There being a substantial difference in cost between the10" the 12" and the 16" foils from Titanium Goat
Being 70mm means unfortunately not being able to use TiGoat fittings

I'll see if I can find mine tomorrow....

Thanx Franco

The one I have, from Ti Goat, was made for a 6cm diameter.
it is the 10 " (25cm) version so it has about 7 cm* of overlap (aprox circumpherence is 18 cm
I see no problem using it for a 7 cm diameter pipe.
Mine is 7' long , if you are interested you could make me an offer because I don't see myself using it anytime soon.
I used it for a few burns , hence the soot, but apart from some small kinks it still works as new.
A peculiar point is that it has a sort of memory. When you open it up it wants to become a pipe again.
I also have a stove jack but from memory you have one of those (?)
* I just measured the clean area, it is 8cm wide.

I could make that work I think. Would 50% of new cost be fair?
Money is a bit tight until February tho if that's OK

Did you get tired of country living?
Do you have a damper Franco?
If not I'll get one from TiGoat; I'll need one to stop the flue pipe from falling in. I figure I'll just plomp it inside the existing spigot and pack the gap a bit, I could use a nail but a damper may actually help the stoves performance, it gets too hot/burns too fast
