Ok, so I have the old masonry chimney torn down. I now need to run a new stainless liner up. Obviously, the simplest way to install this pipe would be to come directly off the stove and run straight up and out the roof. Not a problem here. The only issue I have is sweeping the chimney. I've noticed from my old masonry one that the shingles were starting to get a bit beat up from standing on the roof so much. Therefore, I'm wondering if I'd want to sweep my new flue from below. I know that this can be done with a T fitting. Come off the stove and extend up close to the ceiling and then turn horizontally into the T. I'm thinking single wall pipe until the T which would be double wall. Are there any issues with the connection between the single wall and double wall? Appearance wise, I'm not sure if I care for the look of the T and elbow being right above the stove. Is there a better way?
How do you guys support the flue pipe when a clearance is still required around it? How far above the roof can the pipe extend unsupported? I havn't measured anything yet, but to get 2' above my ridge, I'll have around 7' of pipe waving in the air.
I have an older home and the stainless flue pipe will be a bit out of place on the exterior. Does anybody make a cover for these pipes? I was thinking that if I could find a artistic copper sleeve that the pipe would look a bit nicer.
