Nice lead on a free photo hosting site, I never got past the Twenty Female Celebrities with the Hottest Beach Bodies link though.

Automan - looking at the picture of your new stack, it appears that the chimney adapter slips inside the Ridgewood chimney pipe. Is that right? How did you secure the adapter to the Ridgewood pipe? I will be doing this same type of thing on my 2000, but I might add a storm collar around the base of the stainless pipe just to divert water farther away from the base of the pipe. Looks awesome!!!

The adaptor fits pretty snug but I still shot 3 self tapping  screws thru the stack into the adaptor. It's nice and sturdy.

Glad I saw this Scott, I will have to put in a call to Craig. I'm thinking the aquastat cover is due to failures in cold weather last winter.

Just put the stack on my 7500 and started it up on Saturday. The pipe at Menards seems to be the least expensive of any of the other options I found, plus it was in stock! I really appreciate the link and pictures, this was the last piece of the puzzle for me. Now to finish up my wood shed. I think I'll end up supporting the stack to my shed somehow. I saw a bracket when I was at Menards, might give that a try.
