Leak between chimney and liner...

[stoncold]

Would this be a flashing issue...it's been pouring here all day long. I have a few good steady drips between the chimney and the liner....nothing inside the stove, though.

very possible. your liner comes through the flashing on your roof and is not normally sealed because techinally your raincap should protect that... but in high winds or directional rain I could see it happening.. but just a little bit, as you say drops.

There was quite a bit of water...and I probably should be more clear. It is coming in between the clay liner, and the stainless steel liner. I believe the stainless cap is epoxied to the clay liner coming out of the masonry...so maybe there is a problem there, and not the flashing?

StonCold, When I installed my liner, I cut my masonry cap and clay flue liner and down to the top of the last row of bricks. I had a ss cap made to cover the whole top of the chimney. I think it was well worth the extra cost.
