It's easy to make over or odd sized flue pipe by 
snapping different sizes together. For instance making 
16" would take two 8" sections snapped together (along 
the seams) and 24" requires two sections of 12".

The biggest headache is it doesn't naturally round up 
so you need to do a little forming if round is 
important. making your own hangers, roof/wall jacks, 
etc. is a given of course.

This is how I make large dia. pipe forge shells.
