The best stove pipes, compared.
Top pick: PATIKIL 6x20cm Stove Pipe,2Pcs Stainless Steel Thickened Lengthen Straight Best value: Adam angled decorative stove pipe – Lowest of the three plastic electric pipes at £25.96, with 4.5 from 660 reviews, for looks rather than a flue. Updated October 2026.
A stove pipe on amazon.co.uk is not one object. The same search returns a plastic shape for an electric stove, a steel length from a wood stove to a chimney, and a short camping tube, often about 60 mm. Rank in Pipes does not say which you are buying. In this scrape the plastic pipe is rank 1, ahead of the only 500 mm by 5 inch length titled for a wood log stove. For a house wood burner the pipe has to match the stove outlet, and it must not be smaller than the manufacturer recommends. Approved Document J for England, 2, allows 125 mm on an exempt or smokeless closed appliance up to 20 kW. Other closed appliances up to 30 kW need at least 150 mm. A 60 mm tent section fails that test. Plastic pipes sit on the fire for the look. The [stove pipe buying guide](/hub/fireplaces-and-stoves/stove-pipe/sub/stove-pipe-buying-guide) separates the three jobs before you sort by stars.

Question 1 of 2
What will the pipe sit on?
The PATIKIL listing that says thickened is two stainless straights of 60 mm by about 190 mm, at £13.39, rated 5.0 from three amazon.co.uk reviews. The scrape gives no thickness in millimetres, so the word in the title is not a measurement, though turned edges are stated. The only saved review text says the pipes look beautiful and says nothing about fit or heat. The title says two pieces and the components line says 1, and the weight is listed at 200 g. An enlarged end slides onto the same diameter, in line with the other 60 mm camping tubes rather than a 5 inch stove outlet. Three five-star marks, with only one of them written out, are too small a sample to treat this as a proven section. A 60 mm tube still sits outside the usual 125 mm or 150 mm house-flue sizes, whatever the star line says.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A spare 60 mm camping extension where you can check the piece count and the metal on arrival.
Less suitable: A house wood stove, or a tent stove if you need a stated thickness and more than one review about heat.
Specifications
Common questions
How many pieces are there?
The title says two pieces, 60 mm by about 190 mm. The components line says 1.
Is the wall thickness given?
The title says thickened. The scrape does not give a thickness in millimetres.
What do reviews say?
There is one UK review text. It says the pipes look beautiful. It gives no fit or heat detail.
The Dimplex pipe, model STP001, is a matt black plastic shape that slots together and stands on an electric stove, at either 456 mm or 516 mm. Across 735 amazon.co.uk reviews it scores 4.6, and in this scrape it is rank 1 in Fireplace Exhaust Pipes, ahead of the steel lengths. The box includes two end caps, an elbow and a straight section, and the piece weighs 1.2 kg. Buyers praise the look on Dimplex stoves such as the Grand Rouge, Beckley, Stockbridge and Club, though a visible gap where the straight section meets the elbow comes up often, and the height adjustment did not work for every buyer. One UK review says it can be cut with a fine-tooth saw; the listing itself does not promise that. Another reviewer measured the pipe at about 5 inches against a groove they put at 6 or 7 inches, so that figure is a comment, not a flue specification. It is listed for electric fires only, one delivery arrived dirty in an opened box, and the £35 price is a repeated complaint for a plastic part.
Pros
Cons
Best for: An electric stove, including a Dimplex Optiflame, where a standing plastic pipe at 456 mm or 516 mm is the look you want.
Less suitable: A wood or multi-fuel stove, a real connecting flue, or a top where neither stated height sits in the groove.
Specifications
Common questions
What is this pipe made of?
The listing says plastic with a matt plastic finish. It is for electric fires and stoves, not a real flue.
How tall does it assemble?
The listing offers 456 mm or 516 mm. Item dimensions are also given as 12.4 cm deep, 22.1 cm wide and 48.6 cm high.
How does it fit?
The listing says the sections slot together and stand on the electric stove. The box lists two end caps, a bend and a straight section.
The StoveMaestro saver pipe is a straight black length of 500 mm by 5 inch, titled for a wood log burning stove, and it is the only listing in this set that says that. On amazon.co.uk it is £29.99, rated 4.6 from 238 reviews, with saved dimensions of 50 cm by 13 cm by 13 cm and a weight of 1.06 kg. UK reviews say it fits a log burner, including a push-fit into a 90 degree elbow and a flexible flue, and a narrowboat is among the uses reviewers mention. The listing says the pieces push-fit and that the pipe can be cut, and one buyer who compared the paint with a dearer pipe said the finish held. The saved page does not name vitreous enamel, a steel grade, a British Standard, or a distance to combustibles, so a 5 inch title is not a certificate. One review says the pipe was not fit for purpose and gives no measurement, and another buyer was content with the flue but said a chimney in the same order did not fit. One UK review used it on an outdoor pizza oven, which the listing does not state. Treat it as a single 500 mm connector for a 5 inch wood-stove outlet, and only where a 125 mm flue is allowed for that appliance.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wood log stove with a 5 inch outlet, where a 125 mm connecting length is allowed and you still check the designation before fitting.
Less suitable: An electric stove, a 60 mm tent stove, a 6 inch outlet, or any pipe run that has to leave the room.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is this pipe?
The title says 500 mm by 5 inch. Dimensions are 50 x 13 x 13 cm and the weight is 1.06 kg.
Can the length be changed?
The listing says pieces push-fit together to make other lengths and that the pipe can be cut.
Does the listing show a flue standard?
The saved listing does not state a British Standard, a designation, or a distance to combustibles.
This PATIKIL elbow is a 90 degree bend listed at 75 mm outside and 150 mm long, at £11.79, the lowest price in the set, with 4.6 from 23 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets call it stainless steel and galvanised in the same place, list a thickness of 0.01 inch, and list a weight of 9 g, which is not a credible mass for a steel elbow. One UK review used it on a small burner in an allotment shed, and another used it to bring a barbecue chimney up to the wanted height. A United States review in the scrape says it does not fit properly. That line is not a British report about a UK stove, and it is still on the listing. At 75 mm it is larger than the 60 mm tent tubes and still far under a 125 mm house flue. The price on the page is low, and the specification is too inconsistent to treat the elbow as a sound flue fitting.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small shed burner or a barbecue chimney where you have already measured a 75 mm elbow.
Less suitable: A house wood stove, a 125 mm flue, or a buyer who needs one material and a believable weight.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is the elbow?
The listing says 7.5 cm outer diameter and 15 cm long. Thickness is listed as 0.01 inch. Weight is listed as 9 g.
What do UK reviews say?
One UK review used it on a small burner in an allotment shed. Another used it to raise a barbecue chimney.
Is every review from the UK?
No. The scrape also has United States reviews. One of those says it does not fit properly.
The Adam angled pipe is a one-piece black plastic shape, 260 mm by 120 mm by 205 mm, sold fully assembled for electric stoves only. At £25.96 it is the lowest price of the three plastic pipes in this set, with 4.5 from 660 amazon.co.uk reviews. It weighs 760 g, and reviewers say it looks realistic and sits without much wobble. There is no fixing in the box, so it only rests on the fire unless you add adhesive, and one buyer found it too big for their stove. Several buyers call plastic at this price hard to justify, and one had expected metal. You cannot change the height, unlike the Dimplex pipe at 456 mm or 516 mm. The listing stays on electric stoves, and a pipe that is not fixed down is a weak choice if the stove top is narrow or the appliance burns wood.
Pros
Cons
Best for: An electric stove that needs a short angled plastic pipe, already assembled, at a lower price than the Dimplex listing.
Less suitable: A wood-burning stove, a connecting flue, a narrow top where 260 mm is too big, or a stove that needs the taller Dimplex heights.
Specifications
Common questions
Can this go on a wood stove?
The listing says suitable for electric stoves only, and the material is plastic.
Does it need assembly?
The listing says fully assembled and that no assembly is required.
What size is it?
The bullets say 260 x 120 x 205 mm. Item dimensions are 20.5 cm deep, 12 cm wide and 26 cm high. Weight is 760 g.
The TAISOCA set is four stainless straight lengths, about 60 mm by 320 mm, titled for a hot tent stove, with a nominal wall of 0.5 mm and a stated weight of 950 g. It costs £28.99 and scores 4.5 from 21 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviews describe solid, polished metal that slots together, and some sets arrived without dents. One pipe had a small dink, and the taped plastic bag is blamed when other items in the parcel dent the tubes. One reviewer thought the price, then about £40, was hard to justify; the scrape price now is £28.99, which is still close to the 500 mm 5 inch pipe. A UK review says the set fitted a small wood-burning stove, which is a user report rather than a stated standard. The diameter remains 60 mm, well below the 125 mm or 150 mm house-flue sizes, though the wall thickness is at least printed, which several other camping listings never do.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A hot tent stove whose own outlet is about 60 mm, where the stove maker specifies a short stainless extension of that size.
Less suitable: A house wood burner, a 125 mm or 150 mm chimney, or an electric stove that needs a plastic shape.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the set?
The title says four stainless straight pipes, about 2.36 inch (60 mm) by 12.6 inch (32 cm). Weight is 950 g.
How thick is the wall?
The listing says a nominal wall thickness of 0.5 mm.
Is this a 5 inch house flue?
No. The stated diameter is 60 mm. A UK review mentions a small wood stove, which is a user report, not a stated standard.
The Adam straight pipe is black plastic, listed at 385 mm by 132 mm by 132 mm, fully assembled, and limited to electric stoves. It costs £26.50, scores 4.4 from 334 amazon.co.uk reviews, and weighs 350 g. UK reviews say it looks realistic on Dimplex and other electric stoves, and several people shortened it with a hacksaw even though the listing does not promise cutting. One buyer found it hard to cut, one item arrived scratched, and one review says the quoted dimension is not the main pipe, so check the length against the stove before you rely on 385 mm. Some buyers thought it cheaper than the Dimplex pipe and heavy enough to sit without a fixing, while others still called the plastic overpriced. One buyer returned it, unconvinced it would not melt, and bought a steel flue instead. That return records a worry, not a melt test, and the listing still says electric stoves only.
Pros
Cons
Best for: An electric stove where you want a straight plastic stub near 385 mm and you can measure the piece on arrival.
Less suitable: A wood stove, a connecting flue, or a top that needs the taller two-height Dimplex pipe.
Specifications
Common questions
Can this go on a wood stove?
The listing says suitable for electric stoves only, and the material is plastic.
What size is it?
The bullets say 385 x 132 x 132 mm. Weight is 350 g. Model number 7144.
Do reviews say it can be cut?
The listing does not promise cutting. Several UK reviews say they shortened it with a hacksaw. One review says the quoted dimension was not the main pipe.
The Zerodeko piece is a stainless 90 degree elbow, titled as 12 cm, with a box of 20 cm by 12 cm by 12 cm and a weight of 390 g, at £19.29. It scores 4.3 from 19 amazon.co.uk reviews. The UK reviews in the scrape are short and positive: good value as a replacement, nicely made, and easy to install, and they do not report a fault. They also do not say what bore they fitted. The listing does not give an internal diameter apart from the 12 cm in the title, and the material line reads Silver, Stainless Steel, Wood, which is not a specification you can order against. Nineteen short reviews are a fuller sample than the one-star camping bend, and they are still not a flue test. A 12 cm title is not the same measurement as a 5 inch stove outlet, and the page shows no British Standard.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A lightweight replacement elbow where you already know the bore matches the pipe you have.
Less suitable: A 5 inch wood-stove connector, a measured 125 mm flue, or a buyer who needs a stated internal diameter.
Specifications
Common questions
What is the diameter?
The title says 12 cm and the box is 20 x 12 x 12 cm. The listing does not state an internal bore separately.
What do reviews say?
The UK reviews in the scrape are short: good value, nicely made, easy to install. They do not report a fault.
What is the material line?
The material field reads Silver, Stainless Steel, Wood. The bullets say stainless steel.
This PATIKIL set is four stainless pieces of 60 mm by 200 mm, priced at £19.99 and rated 3.6 from six amazon.co.uk reviews. Both UK reviews in the scrape say the wall is extremely thin, almost like paper. One says the pipes arrived oval and could be pushed back to round, and one compares the metal to a drinks can. The title says four pieces, a components line says 1, and a dimensions line of 5 cm by 5 cm does not match the 200 mm length in the bullets. Weight is listed at 350 g. The enlarged end is meant to slide onto the same diameter, which is a camping joint rather than a vitreous stove-pipe spigot. At 60 mm, and with those two thin-wall reports, it is a poor section for a tent stove that runs hot, and it is the wrong object for a house flue.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A camping stove that already uses 60 mm tube, and only if you accept metal that two UK reviewers compared with paper or a drinks can.
Less suitable: A house stove, a flue inside a room, or a tent setup where the pipe has to stay round under heat.
Specifications
Common questions
What size are the pieces?
The bullets say 60 mm diameter and 200 mm long, four pieces. A dimensions line also says 5 x 5 cm, which does not match the length.
What do the reviews say?
The two UK reviews in the scrape both say the metal is extremely thin. One says the pipes arrived oval. One compares them to a drinks can.
Is tape included?
The listing does not say tape is included.
The Warmhm set is two straight stainless pipes and one elbow, with a stated 6 cm inner diameter and a weight of about 373 g, at £17.89. The only review, from the United Kingdom on 9 July 2026, scores it 2.0. That reviewer says the tubes are very thin and become red hot within seconds, that heat-proof cloth still produced some smoke, and that they feared a tent fire. The listing claims wood stoves, fireplaces, boilers and tent stoves, while the review describes a mini stove and a tent. No wall thickness is given, and the page does not say a printed guide is in the box. One review is a small sample, and it is the only evidence saved. A pipe a reviewer saw turn red is a camping-tube problem at 6 cm, which is a long way from a 125 mm or 150 mm house connector.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A 6 cm tent-stove outlet only if you have read the 9 July 2026 review and you still accept that heat report.
Less suitable: An indoor stove, a house flue, or a tent where the pipe must not glow.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the box?
The listing says two straight pipes and one elbow, stainless steel, with a 6 cm inner diameter. Weight is about 373 g.
What did the UK review say?
The only review, from the United Kingdom on 9 July 2026, says the tubes are very thin and become red hot within seconds.
Are instructions included?
The listing asks the question and then says assembly is simple. It does not say a printed guide is in the box.
This PATIKIL bend is one 60 mm stainless 90 degree elbow, about 230 mm long and 260 g, at £12.89. The amazon.co.uk line is 1.0 from one review, and the scrape does not include the review text, so the reason for that star is not on the page. The enlarged end is meant to slide onto the same diameter, and the listing aims it at a tent-stove chimney in a tight space. Questions on the page mention tape, and the bullets do not say tape is included. No wall thickness is given. On a house flue a 90 degree factory bend counts as two of the four direction changes in Approved Document J, and this 60 mm piece is not that flue. With one unexplained low score, add it only to a stove whose own pipe is already 60 mm, and only after you have looked at the metal.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A 60 mm camping run that already needs one sharp bend, after you have inspected the metal.
Less suitable: A house stove, a 5 inch or 6 inch flue, or a first pipe when you need a review that explains the rating.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is the bend?
The listing says 60 mm and a length of about 230 mm. Weight is 260 g.
Does it include tape?
The listing questions mention tape. The bullets do not say tape is included.
Why is the rating 1.0?
The listing line says 1.0 out of 5 from 1 review. The scrape does not include the review text, so the reason is not recorded.
The PATIKIL PCA-8-3 is a galvanised reducer at £29.99, and the bullets say 8 inch to 3 inch, or 203 mm to 78 mm, at 120 mm tall, 0.6 mm thick and 560 g. The technical details on the same page say 2.54 cm by 2.54 cm by 9.14 cm, which does not match the bullets. The scrape has no star rating and no review text, so there is no buyer report of a fit on a pellet stove, a wood stove, or a dust collector, all of which the bullets name. Tape is mentioned as something you may need, and it is not included. An 8 inch to 3 inch step-down is a large reduction, and a house flue is meant to stay at least as large as the stove outlet. At the same £29.99 as the 500 mm StoveMaestro length, this is an unreviewed adaptor whose two size lines disagree.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only a buyer who has measured both ends and can reconcile the two size lines on the page before the part is used.
Less suitable: A house wood stove, a 125 mm or 150 mm flue, or anyone who needs reviews and one clear diameter.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is the adaptor?
The bullets say 203 mm to 78 mm and 120 mm tall. The technical details say 2.54 x 2.54 x 9.14 cm. Those figures do not match.
Are there reviews?
The scrape has no star rating and no review text.
What is it made of?
The bullets say galvanised steel, 0.6 mm thick, weight 560 g.
Twelve amazon.co.uk stove-pipe listings were scored on 15 October 2026 from the shelf price, the star line and the job each title describes. Job and outlet match is 30, flue size against Approved Document J Table 2 is 25, stated material and a named standard is 20, amazon.co.uk reviews are 15, and price for that job is 10. There was no lab burn. The top pick is the only 5 inch wood-stove length. The best value is the lowest-priced plastic pipe for an electric stove.
Job and outlet match
30%The listing has to name the same job you have: a plastic shape on an electric stove, a connector for a wood-stove outlet, or a camping section of the stove's own diameter. A rank in Fireplace Exhaust Pipes does not decide that.
Flue size
25%For a house stove, Approved Document J Table 2 in England allows 125 mm on an exempt or smokeless closed appliance up to 20 kW, and at least 150 mm for other closed appliances up to 30 kW. A 60 mm tube and an 8 inch to 3 inch step-down fail that check.
Material and standard
20%A real flue needs a designated pipe, such as BS EN 1856-2 metal or BS 6999 vitreous enamel. Plastic for an electric stove, and a camping tube with no thickness, are scored for the job they state, not as a certified flue.
amazon.co.uk reviews
15%Stars and review counts are taken from the amazon.co.uk listing in this scrape. A large sample about looks on an electric stove is not treated as evidence about a wood-stove flue. Listings with no reviews stay low.
Price for that job
10%Price is compared inside the same job. The lowest plastic electric pipe can be the best value for a decorative shape. The same pounds do not make a 60 mm tube a house connector.
Name the job first: a plastic shape on an electric stove, a connector from a wood stove to the chimney, or a short camping section. Diameter and a stated standard come before the star line. Price is the last check, and only inside the same job. The twelve rows below are amazon.co.uk listings. None of them was burned in a lab for this page.
A stove pipe is the piece between the appliance and the rest of the flue, or, on an electric stove, a shape that only looks like that piece. On amazon.co.uk the word covers three jobs, and they do not share a diameter or a material. Decorative plastic is listed for electric stoves only.
The Dimplex pipe is rank 1 in Fireplace Exhaust Pipes in this scrape, with 4.6 from 735 reviews. It is matt black plastic for an electric stove, at 456 mm or 516 mm. Those reviews are about the look. They are not a flue test.
Most camping pieces here are about 60 mm. Table 2 allows 125 mm only on an exempt or smokeless closed appliance up to 20 kW, and at least 150 mm for other closed appliances up to 30 kW. A 60 mm section fails that for a normal house stove.
Single-wall pipe stays in the room, socket upwards, and does not pass through a ceiling except into the chimney. A rear horizontal run is no more than 150 mm. A 90 degree factory bend counts as two of the four direction changes. Call an installer when the route leaves the room.
Name the job before you compare prices. An electric stove needs a plastic shape that stands on the top. A house wood stove needs a connecting flue the same size as the outlet, and not smaller than the manufacturer recommends. A tent stove needs the diameter that stove already uses, often about 60 mm here, which is a camping section and not a house flue. Approved Document J Table 2, for England, is the size check. An exempt or smokeless closed appliance up to 20 kW can be 125 mm.
On a real flue, paragraph 1.32 of Approved Document J accepts BS 41 cast iron, BS EN 1856-2 metal pipe, BS 6999:1989 vitreous enamel, or another designated pipe. If clearance is marked NM, not measured, BFCMA uses three times the internal diameter. Diagram 19 gives three times the diameter to combustibles, or 1.5 times with a shield: 375 mm for 125 mm pipe and 450 mm for 150 mm. None of these twelve listings states that distance.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a black shape on an electric stove, and you can measure the top. The Adam angled pipe at £25.96 is fully assembled, with 4.5 from 660 reviews. It is plastic, it only rests unless you add a fixing, and it is not a flue.
You need one connecting length for a wood log stove whose outlet is 5 inch, and a 125 mm flue is allowed for that appliance. The StoveMaestro pipe is 500 mm at £29.99, with 4.6 from 238 reviews. The listing states no British Standard, so check the designation before you fit it.
Your tent stove already uses about 60 mm tube. The TAISOCA set is four stainless lengths, about 60 mm by 320 mm, with the wall stated at 0.5 mm, at £28.99 and 4.5 from 21 reviews. It is not a 125 mm or 150 mm house flue.
For a wood log stove with a 5 inch outlet, the StoveMaestro saver pipe at £29.99 is the top pick in this set: 500 mm long, 4.6 from 238 reviews, and the only listing titled for that job. The page does not state a British Standard. For an electric stove, the Adam angled pipe at £25.96 is the best value among the three plastic shapes, with 4.5 from 660 reviews. Plastic and a 60 mm tent tube are not a house flue.
Adam angled decorative stove pipe
Lowest of the three plastic electric pipes at £25.96, with 4.5 from 660 reviews, for looks rather than a flue.
