First let me say that Gooserider has helped me tremendously with his ideas on my boiler install. I thank him and wish him a speedy recovery.
To my question. I need to raise the height on my masonary chimney. It is flue block with 7 inch clay tile liner. The problem is once I raise it up about 5 feet to where i need it I will be unable to clean it. The chimny comes up thru the roof of a small room off the side of my house. Right now it doesn not meet the 10/2 rule and drafts poorly. The roof it comes thru is not very steep and I had just thought that I could lean a ladder up agaisnt the chimney to clean. Just wandering what other folks do that have trouble reaching top of chimney
