new hearth installation question

My new hearth stove arrived and I have a dilema. Obviously the black stove pipe will run up my chimney about 2' past my damper. My damper is only about 4" wide so the pipe will have to be compressed into an oval shape but after it passes the damper it must go back at an angle to go towards the chimney and I cannot figure out how to do this? Someone suggested a piece of flex pipe but Home depot, Lowes and all of the fireplace stores I have visited have never heard of stove pipe that is flexible??? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

you can buy a piece off ebay usually people end up w/ leftover.

Hi John,
The flex pipe is what you need. Don't bother at Lowe's, go to a hearth shop. I think you can buy a 6' lenght.

This is link for SS 316 flex pipe at cost of $26/ft , cut to desired length. They will ovalize a section of the pipe so that it can pass thru the damper frame or rectangular damper opening and extend up as far as you want to clear damper. Must call to order 800-472-6728. Price seemed reasonable and they ship UPS for small lenghts so it kepps shipping cost low.
