Stove pipe reducer + flue size

eas

Hi all,

We've got delivery of a lovely new stove. The stove takes a 6" pipe, the problem is the flue seems to be an odd sized 7.5 inches in diameter. I know there are reducers, but non seem to be available for the 7.5 inch flue. The people who had the house before us seem to have just stuffed an 8-6 inch reducer in to the flue and said well enough. This is hardly the best solution?

The house is only 10 years old and I believe there was originally a gas fire in place but was removed and converted to solid fuel fireplace.

Standard clay liners are 8 inch.
Take a pic of flue to be sure could be cement lodged on flue gather but a pic would help
