Oh yea it was January when I did it too. You are gonna be fine the way your plan is.
I did get the new ss stack section from Patrick by the way.
3rdgen,
Good point about the cheap stack as a temporary solution. I received the 12 feet of stack from Patrick, but my roof and cupola are too high. I wanted a 3 foot section but he suggested 2 2 ft sections so it could be shipped easier.
