Question
Mr. Ball I have a schrader wood stove with two doors on it . They have trees on them. Where can i find an adapter too install from a 6" 0r 8" pipe. The unit has a welded rectangler shape that measures 4" high X 12" wide on the back of it.

Answer
Hello Harry, if the opening of the box is 4" wide x 12" long then that size should fit into an 8" round, contact a local machine shop and have them make that adapter out of Stainless Steel sheet metal and the smoke pipe should fit together with the male ends facing the stove.
