I'm going to be installing a flue for my wood stove and need to know how close I can put it to the flue for my gas heater?

About 6' apart is where they will be according to my stove placement.

The wood stove flue will be at least 1' higher than the gas stove flue, and can be 2' higher if needed.

Thanks!

Found the answer.
In Illinois at least, it is 4' between flues, and at least a foot higher for the wood stove cap.
Mine will be 6' and 1-2' higher.

Glad you found an answer Rob. I was ready to bump this to the top.
