Rubber Gaitors...
Hi Ivor,
I would think on principle, that one best employ a
non-rubbber component for the task.
Maybe as double-wall or triple-wall sheet steel Stove
flue...
That is what I have on my Wood Stove anyway, or for where
the flue goes through the cieling.
Even if some rubber composition should not immediatly melt
or fester, I would think it shall deteriorate and be a
nuisance from it's reactions from the heat.
Yours,
Phil
