The fire-tube puller has a puller back which is coupled to a plug rest. A plug rest is approximately perpendicular to the puller back, and the fire-tube will rest upon the plug rest when the fire-tube is being removed or installed. The system can also include a stack adjuster which is coupled to the plug rest. The stack adjuster can couple to a stack so as to reposition the stack.
