I would use care modifying a truss or trusses in place, they are not too forgiving in that department, but sounds like a minor change, that black soot sure tells the story though don't it.
I can tell you that the S.S. flex pipe does glow (dull orange) very easily, or so the short section I installed through my foundation to the flue of an exterior chimney. My particular stove will roar with minimal amounts of real dry wood, I'm talking a couple of 3"-4" logs especially when you first start a fire. As I recall, the black smoke pipe that it replaced took longer to get that hot. The 90 deg turn is not far from the stove, so the flames probably go right up, have to use care and apply the damper, cut off the air in the front, I covered the horizontal section with an unused smoke pipe, not crimped, and 2 angle iron chocks to maintain air space, a heat shield if you will, so if it does get hot, the heat is dispersed. Just an observation about that flex pipe. I do know of a potential good material that may be used in assemblies like these, Roxul Mineral Wool insulation, not sure if there is a UL rated assembly for what you describe or similar applicable lab tested assembly, I think I would be looking more at double wall pipe or something you know is acceptable, now I suppose if that flex pipe was used and there was a hot fire, and it did get glowing, how does the clay flue liner react with a crack, if it was not cracked would not be an issue, that flex pipe can glow quickly if set up like mine is, and it does go through concrete, 4 feet of masonry before the clay flue, I get a pretty good draft, she pulls that air right in, just an observation though.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
