Wherever we're parked
Looks like somebody got creative with some drainage culvert. Saw this on my way to one of my sub-contractors & hadda snap a pic. It looked to be sitting on a stack of blocks for support. It DOES have a roof-brace kit...

ive seen similar,

several years back a fellow who was apparantly contractor who had access to it took a corrogated culvert pipe such as one has under their driveway and stood it up in a hole next to his house and buried the lower end, torched himself out a cleanout at the bottom, and cut a hole in the side to poke his connector pipe into his "flue" , needless to say , it didnt burn wall as "the dang stove dont draw"
 
It probably will never clog or have a chimney fire.
 
Where's the duct tape? And some of us complain about small birds that somehow find their way in our stove, A turkey vulture could find his way in there. Draft? We don't need no stinking draft!
 
In my area there were a lot of papermills and due to corrosive environment, stainless steel pipe is used everywhere in the plants and it tends to get let out as scrap to the employees. I see many exterior chimneys (and culverts) made out of Sch 10 SS steel (usually 316L grade)
 
no chimbley cap? how you keep the buffalo out?
 
Holy smokes, thats a damn steam ship stack thar!
Prolly draft better as it gets more clogged!
 
No no no...you guys have it all wrong-the corrugations create a "swirl effect" which increases draft ;lol
