Has anyone made their own roll up stove pipe for their stove? I am just curious, is it just stainless shim stock or is their more to it?
I am thinking 316 stainless shim stock, .005"/.007" in thickness with some with some worm drive hose/tube clamps.
Any thoughts?

.004 Stainless with aircraft cable or braided stainless downrigger cable for the rings. McMaster-Car has the shim stock.

12" wide, 100 inch long piece cut to what you need length wise.

I wonder if you should use a certain grade of SS for the chimney Fastenal has 302/304 grade and Mcmaster Carr has 316 ?

I don't think the potential for rusting is worth worrying about. The degree to which it "sets" after high temps would be the biggest factor. I don't recall the characteristics of those grades, but remember McMaster-Carr listing them on their website.
I imagine EdT has just the answer you are looking for though.
It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't, everyone would do it. The hard...is what makes it great. Reviews are only as good as the crowd reviewing them. Progressive Liberalism is the philosophy of Western suicide.

I just know that most of the class A chimney pipe like we use on our houses is made of 316 SS..

I have used both 302/304 and 316 and haven't noticed a difference in durability or "set ability"

You would need a 12" wide roll of .004 stainless steel shimstock long enough to get you through the top of the tipi by a couple feet.
