tips for separating flue components

[woodland dweller]

Hi, i want to change our 2 woodburners, but how do i separate the various enamel flue components that are stuck together with fire cement ?

Would think that cement would be quite brittle and components should separate with a bit of a shoogle! (Apologies for the technical terminology)😏

all locked up, 3 straights and 2 bends, can't get any movement, i could jack the woodburners up, remove legs and lower this make break the joints apart was looking for a simple solution, thanks though.

Hey wd, it shouldn't be that hard mate. Either they are cemented or siliconed together. I did. One before that was screwed together and screw heads covered in cement. Check this out but mostly be forceful. If siliconed, cut as much as you can with Stanley first. If there's two bends, there should be plenty if room for manouvere?
