I have an old coal stove with metal flue coming off that is corroded. I want to cut the flue away and keep stove for looks. How should I cap off flue (duct) that leads into and up to chimney?

They make caps for flues, both round and oval. Locally here we have Ace hardware that have catalogs of millions of items. If you don't have an Ace you may have a similar hardware store. You would do better in a local hardware store than a big box.

If the pipe is round measure the size and go to the hardware store and get a galvanized crimped cap and some screws and put the cap in the hole and screw it in place. If it is square you will have to get it made.

don't do it
you need that vent not for heating not for air conditioning but certainly for radon gas's and other dumb stuff that sometimes gets trapped AND if you flue is also venting other appliances and relying on this end to help vent Well...
