its been really windy here lately and im gettin nervous about my chimney. its 11 feet above my roof on my porch , duratech stainless chimney , i got the support bracket at about 5 feet up , but there is still 6 feet of pipe unsupported above it and im afraid the wind is gonna take it down sometime , it wobbles a little when it really gusts , i called my fireplace store where i got the stove and they said its normal. what can i do to make it more rigid ? ad another bracket higher up ? or ....?

those support brackets come in different lengths and are usually telescoping in nature to get the exact length you need. You are right to be concerned and looking into a remedy for this. Having a good wind and your chimney coming apart with a fire going would be disastrous.
