For flexible pellet stove piping, first distinguish an outside-air intake hose from an exhaust vent: they serve different purposes and are not interchangeable. The two 2-inch, 60-inch aluminum intake kits below are the clearest matches for flexible pellet stove air piping. The Selkirk connector may suit a compatible connection, but its listed features do not specify dimensions or intended use. The camping-stove flue extensions are rigid straight sections, not flexible pellet-stove vent pipe; verify appliance and vent-system compatibility before considering them.

2-Inch Aluminum Pellet Stove Intake Kit
Best for: Buyers who need a flexible outside-air intake assembly with mounting pieces included. The kit lists a 2-inch inner diameter and an aluminum flex hose that stretches up to 60 inches. Included components are a wall plate, screen, screws, and hose clamps.
The listing says the hose can bend and extend, while the mounting panels are 304 stainless steel. It is intended to supply outside air, which may help when room-air venting is insufficient. Confirm your stove’s intake size and required run before purchasing.
Limitation: This is an air-intake kit, not an exhaust vent. The listed maximum stretch is 60 inches, so it may not suit a longer route.
2-Inch Intake Kit With Stainless Rain Cover
Best for: Buyers who want a bendable fresh-air intake with a weather-shielding exterior cover. The product has a 2-inch inner diameter and a 60-inch flex pipe. Its stainless steel rain cover is described as helping keep rain, snow, and dust from entering the intake.
The listing recommends extending the pipe gradually rather than pulling it out all at once, because it may be difficult to retract after full extension. Its aluminum alloy pipe can be bent to suit the intended route. Choose this kit if its diameter and length match the stove’s intake specifications.
Limitation: It is for intake air, not flue exhaust. The listing does not establish compatibility with every pellet stove.
Selkirk 173036R Flex Connector
Best for: Buyers searching for the specific Selkirk 173036R 3EFC3 connector and able to verify its fit for their system. Listed features describe it as easy to use and highly durable, and identify China as its country of manufacture.
This item is included because it is explicitly described as a flex connector, unlike the rigid camping-stove flue sections below. However, the available product details do not give its diameter, material, or whether it is intended for pellet-stove intake or exhaust. Check the part number and system requirements before ordering.
Limitation: The supplied information is not enough to confirm its application or compatibility with a particular pellet stove.
FireHiking Stainless Steel Flue Extension
Best for: Buyers comparing straight flue extensions for a camping stove, not shoppers seeking confirmed flexible pellet-stove pipe. The listing describes four stainless steel straight chimney sections, each measuring 2.36 inches by 12.6 inches.
This option is relevant only as a distinction between stove-pipe categories: its listed construction is straight and sectioned, not flexible. The product details do not identify it as a pellet-stove vent component or provide pellet-system compatibility information.
Limitation: Do not assume a camping-stove flue is suitable for a pellet stove. Verify the appliance manufacturer’s vent requirements before use.
SoloWilder Straight Stove Pipe
Best for: Buyers looking at a straight chimney extension for a camping stove. The listing identifies a 2.36-inch pipe and describes it as thickened, straight, and intended to lengthen a camping stove exhaust.
It is not a flexible pipe, and the supplied features do not state that it is designed for pellet-stove venting. Its diameter alone is not enough to establish fit: vent components must match the stove’s specified system and installation requirements.
Limitation: Avoid choosing this as pellet-stove exhaust pipe without explicit confirmation from the appliance or vent-system manufacturer.
Buying Guide: How To Choose Flexible Pellet Stove Pipe
Is the pipe for intake air or exhaust?
Identify the job before comparing products. The two 2-inch flexible kits listed here are fresh-air intake products. Exhaust venting carries combustion byproducts and requires components specified for the pellet stove and installation. Do not substitute an intake hose or a camping-stove flue for an approved exhaust system.
What diameter and length do you need?
Compare the product’s inner diameter with the stove’s specified connection size, then measure the route. The intake kits list a 2-inch inner diameter and up to 60 inches of stretch. Confirm whether that usable length covers the path without forcing sharp bends or stretching the pipe beyond its intended range.
Do you need a complete intake assembly?
The first intake kit lists a wall plate, screen, screws, and clamps. The second highlights a stainless steel rain cover. Compare the included parts with your installation needs, and check the full listing for any components not mentioned in the product details.
How should you verify compatibility?
Use the pellet stove manual and the vent-system manufacturer’s specifications as the authority. Check the intended application, diameter, connection type, and installation instructions. If a listing does not say whether a component is for pellet-stove intake or exhaust, treat that compatibility as unconfirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can flexible intake pipe be used as pellet stove exhaust?
No. The products described as flexible here are fresh-air intake kits. Intake and exhaust serve different functions, so use only vent components specified for the stove’s exhaust system.
What size are the flexible intake kits?
Both listed intake kits have a 2-inch inner diameter and a flex pipe length of up to 60 inches, according to their product details.
Is a camping stove flue suitable for a pellet stove?
The supplied information does not establish that either camping-stove flue extension is compatible with a pellet stove. Confirm suitability with the stove and vent-system manufacturers.
What should I check before buying a flex connector?
Confirm the part number, dimensions, intended application, and compatibility with your specific stove or vent system. The Selkirk listing details provided here do not include dimensions or a stated pellet-stove application.
