The new Class-A will be about 18" -2" from the ridge, and about 6 -1/2' from the existing masonry chimney( flue for oil heat (h/w) + DHW) , which is about 4' above the ridge.
Am I correct that it has to be above the existing chimney (cap) by at least 2'?
So, that means that I will need at minimum of 6' of Class-A above the roof line; it will probably be more between the support box, attic and roof penetration, to the top.
Also - be forewarned - they WILL be a "what stove do I need/should get/ to make the DW happy" thread in the future... I'm just trying to get all the ducks in a row before shelling out a few grand and new stove and set-up.
Thanks in advance,
P.J.
EDIT : I don't know if it matters - the roof pitch is 8-in-12. It was installed in September of 2009 over 3/4" CDX ply.
